Villain AstrolyteA space Communications Organization has closed a seed for € 2.8 million to accelerate the development of its laser-based end to end communication platform that securely connects the earth to the earth.
The Round of the fund, led by Frontier Tech Investor Ballenord, was the other main investors, EIFO (Denmark’s export and investment fund), Coinvest Capital and existing investors 3 NGLS and Rita Sakus.
“Our long -term vision is to create an optical backbone network for space,“Said Laurenas MaulisCEO and co-founder of Astrolyte. “The amount of satellites and satellites is increasing significantly, but there is still no scaleable, protected way to bring that data back to the earth. With laser contact, we are off that gap.“
Astrolyte was founded by former founder and Kangsberg NanoAVons, CTO, Lorenas Maulis, co-founder Julian Eludevius (Center for Physical Sciences and Technology of Lithuania, Dalias Petroonia) Stancia (Light Transparent) Stan.
Astrolite’s goal is to provide complete and self-contained hardware for ground and space operational domains to provide optical connection solutions to end to end. Astrolytes designs and produce advanced optical communication terminals for land-based links from space, space-to-space, ship-to-to-ship, and space and defense applications, using the full vertical integration of its technology stack to ensure the best performance.
They are developing a dual-use communication architecture that can handle both space-to-space and space-to-ground optical links. The goal of the organization is to provide optical communication as a service, to connect the optical terminals of astronomy and other suppliers to its own ground infrastructure.
Maulis has published future plans, which include setting up the first operational optical ground station and displaying a hybrid space-to-group and space-to-space optical terminal, which will be based on the existing Atlas-1 modular design of the company.
“We are incredibly excited to lead this investment round in Astrolyte. We believe that their experienced team has really created groundbreaking optical communication technology that is necessary to solve the rapidly arriving data barrier in space. Their high-speed, jam-resistant solutions not only criticize the growing satellite market but represents the type of border innovation that will define the next generation space infrastructure“Sharing PillarzicOperating partner in Balnord.
Earlier this year, Astrolyte launched a Danish auxiliary agency to strengthen cooperation across Nordics and provide protected laser communication solutions to space resources in the artic area.
“It is a strategically important investment in an organization whose technology plays an important role in strengthening European space power and elasticity. Artic’s Ground Station is a milestone that IIFO is pleased to support as an investor, especially to give Denmark and Ifo the strategic importance of this region“Said Louis flyInvestment Director in EIFO.
VictorManaging Director of Coinvest Capital, added: “Our investment in astronomy reflects our belief in the Laser Communication Technology in the Communication Technology. The team has shown the ability to implement the exceptional technical skills, an obvious viewpoint and the highly-technology in the high-tech. They are proud to support their journey as they revolve in space and beyond the protected data infectionThe “
Many players in the space sector simply concentrate on laser communication in satellite, astronomy claims that “” “who is targeting”The link between space and the earth is missing“From its founding.
“The infrastructure we are creating is not just a technical solution – it’s a way to fill the operational gap how modern space systems communicate“Added PomegranicCTO of astronomy, added. “They are now using radio frequency, but the RF spectrum is limited, only about 20% of space-exposed data is recoverable. Laser links provide higher data rates, exceptional protection but most importantly, they can make bandwidth scaleThe “
According to the research of the Goldman ShutchMore than 1,5 lower Earth orbit (Leo) satellites are expected to be launched in the next five years. Demand for space-space connection is increasing as well as these stars. Laser.com is becoming a competitive alternative to RF, provides more powerful links and provides 100 times more faster data rates.
“We heard from customers and partners that a whole solution is missing” Maulis Dr. “No end-to-end experience-Terminal, satellite and ground infrastructure are acting as oneThe “
The asgraded platform of Astrolyte will allow greater flexibility to integrate with existing satellite systems and will support the links to on-Demand laser communications, including inter-Satellite relay and direct-to-end downlinks.
The team emphasized that it was not to compete with other stars or networks but not aims to integrate as a supplemental infrastructure level.
“We use the Internet today without thinking about the cables below us, we believe that laser communication will become invisible optical backbone for the next generation space connectivity” Maulis Dr. “This is not about the existing infrastructure replacement, but about enable what will happen nextThe “
“Astrolyte presents the kind of strategic investment in Europe – utilize the technical superiority of our region to create sovereign power in critical infrastructure. The developed communication technology developed here in the Baltic Sea region will be important for Europe’s technical not only as commercially in the Baltic Sea region as space is growing.
Freedom This group has a rare combination of deep technical skills and clear market vision in order to succeed in this challenging sector“Said Marsin p. QualityGeneral partner of the Balnord.
