Company mission

Mangata's mission is to build a bridge between connectivity and access, weaving in endless possibilities for businesses and communities to share, learn from each other, and prosper.

Our take

Mangata was founded in 2020 with a goal to provide better telecommunications and broadcasting services to the world, but for this to happen the world needs better infrastructure.

This is where Mangata’s work really starts: It’s planning on building a new constellation of thousands of satellites in orbit, then combining them with terrestrial data centers to build a single, scalable and unified network.

It’s a big task, but considering that there are still around 4 billion people in the world with sub-par internet (more than 50% of the global population), there’s certainly a need for it.

Mangata has been quick to raise funds to support its plans and has been assertively adding to its leadership team. The reputation of CEO Brian Holz, a three-decade veteran in the Aerospace and Satellite Tech fields, has no doubt aided this encouraging progress.
