Other key management come from a wide range of industry sectors with varying backgrounds, including the Australian Special Forces, United States Air Force, Lockheed Martin, Rio Tinto, and NBCUniversal & Amblin Entertainment.FIGURE 2.8. Soar also boasts a strong leadership team that is headed by Chairman Guy Perkins, former co-founder of aerial imaging companies NearMap and Spookfish. Soar was founded in 2017 by Amir Farhand, an entrepreneur with over 15 years of geospatial expertise in bringing innovative geospatial solutions to commercial markets. The company is positioning itself to become the leading platform and marketplace for global mapping needs. By leveraging the latest in satellite and drone technology, Soar is in a class of its own. Soar is on a mission to become the one-stop-shop for the collection, distribution, and monetization of mapping imagery from different sensors. To view Soar’s platform please visit soar.earth However, since its beta launch in late 2018, the largest area of growth has been news and social media as users share imagery of landscape events from around the world. The use of Soar is ideal for a wide range of industries and applications including agriculture, environmental, logistics, mining and insurance. With the making of your own videos, you can also edit your videos with the video editing apps. But with the advancement in technology, you can now click your own pictures and make your own videos and that too with ease. Technology has changed these days but there was a time when if you wanted to have a picture of your’s you needed different types of equipment or machines. In the near future, the platform will also feature additional data streams from higher resolution satellites, aerial imagery providers, as well as both commercial and recreational drone operators globally. Soar has already received several partnership requests from multinational organizations with excess satellite, aerial and drone content from across the globe. With almost 10 petabytes of data already acquired, Soar is planning additional imagery as part of their growth strategy. The aim of Soar is to enable anyone to explore and discover our ever-changing world.” Soar allows anyone to view the Earth from above, meaning it’s easy to observe things like environmental changes, including drought, melting ice caps, industrial growth, natural disasters like volcano eruptions, just to name a few uses. Soar’s Head of Growth, Tim Glover added, “Imagine if we could re-use that imagery in a way that was totally authentic, collaborative and most importantly, accessible to all.
The same image uploaded to Soar contributes content to the seeding of the super-map, providing value to a global community, as well as generating income for the drone pilot.” “Imagery taken by a drone user can be uploaded to social media, and may attract a few likes, or will sit idle on a hard drive. Soar addresses these limitations by generating dynamic, ever-changing data on our platform”. In many cases, the general public only has access to resources which are not updated as frequently. Soar founder and CEO Amir Farhand said: “The problem Soar is solving is that almost 80 percent of all mapping imagery is currently accessed through just one channel, which is, for the most part, reserved mostly for niche commercial use. Thus, becoming a one-stop-shop for the collection, distribution, and monetization of mapping imagery from different sensors. Governments will also be able to monitor activities such as the protests in Hong Kong, illegal mining or deforestation.ĭeveloped by geospatial experts, the map sources satellite images from the European Space Agency’s Sentinel and NASA’s Landsat feeds and the SuperView and Gaofen satellites.Īs well as satellite content, the super-map will integrate imagery sourced from drone owners (drone pilots) around the world, who can earn passive income as the value of their imagery becomes realized. This includes but is not limited to environmental disasters such as wildfires, tsunamis, hurricanes and drought. Oct 25th, 2019 – Satellite imagery company Soar has today announced it is now allowing public access to its satellites which provide near-real time imagery all across Earth at 10m resolution per pixel.īoth the public and the media will now be able to see high definition aerial views of anywhere on earth to observe events as they happen.
