Athonet and SpaceX Enable Antarctica Exploration


Private cellular network provides secure communications to team in harsh environment
VICENZA, Italy, Feb. 22, 2023 — Athonet, a leader in private cellular network technology, and SpaceX today announced the setup of a private cellular network at Union Glacier, Antarctica for critical voice and data communications.
Athonet created a dedicated kit with a complete Athonet 4G network including antenna, radio, SIMs, core and applications to send to the Antarctic Logistics & Expeditions (ALE) team in Union Glacier. The private cellular network is connected using SpaceX Starlink as the backhaul connection.
The network enables coverage for critical voice and data communications including push-to-talk, emergency messaging, VoIP, and other daily activities around camp for the service team. It also provides internet connection to guests such as tourists and research teams.
The Athonet kit was extremely fast and simple to install and deploy at the base camp, and within a few hours the team had a cellular network umbrella to cover a 4-5km area providing services to the teams and guests. The team needed a network that was rugged enough to withstand harsh conditions at the South Pole including negative temperatures averaging -30°C and high winds. The Athonet and Starlink solution provided the exact solution needed by the South Pole exploration team.
“Communications are necessary in every part of the world, but especially in remote areas where there may be extreme weather or challenging geography issues,” said Gianluca Verin, chief executive officer, Athonet. “The Athonet private cellular core was designed with these challenges in mind from our very first deployment supporting the earthquake in Italy more than ten years ago. From there, our solution is now deployed across the world in airports, mines, utilities, governments, schools and universities and healthcare.”

Guidehouse Insights Explores Opportunities for Green Hydrogen Project Financing in Europe and the US


Market barriers include high value chain complexity, an uncertain regulatory environment, and a limited track record of technology performance and lifetimes
A new report from Guidehouse Insights analyses opportunity for green hydrogen project financing in Europe and the US.
Attracting financing for green hydrogen facilities and moving them through the various stages of project development remains a major challenge. The proportion of projects that have taken a final investment decision (FID) or begun construction is currently a small fraction of the overall pipeline, representing less than 2% of planned capacity in Europe and the US. According to a new report from Guidehouse Insights, while this situation is expected to improve in 2023, progress will still favor projects with limited offtake risk and well capitalized backers.
“Potential financiers must be able to make an informed assessment of a project’s cashflows and risk profile to make a commitment,” says Jacques Moss, research analyst with Guidehouse Insights. “In most cases, this requires projects to have secured long-term offtake agreements with creditworthy counterparties.”
Green hydrogen projects also present added difficulties to stakeholders familiar with more conventional forms of energy infrastructure, including increased value chain complexity, an uncertain regulatory environment, and a limited track record of technology performance and lifetimes, according to the report.
The report, The State of Play for Green Hydrogen Project Financing in Europe and the US, provides an overview of the key variables likely to influence financing, with a focus on project design, risk mitigation and regulatory developments in Europe and the United States. An executive summary of the report is available for free download on the Guidehouse Insights website.
