Swarm's new network of satellites is intended to provide low-bandwidth, low-power connectivity to "Internet of Things" devices all over the world, and the company just announced how much its technology will actually cost. The Swarm board is about the size of a pack of gum, and provides a constant connection at the kind of data rate and power requirement that IoT devices need — which is to say, low. Connecting those to legacy geosynchronous satellite networks is possible, of course, but also expensive, bulky and power-hungry.
