Aalyria announced a European Space Agency contract Dec. 5 to develop an orchestration system for space-based, airborne, maritime and ground-based nodes.
The value of the award, funded by the UK Space Agency, was not disclosed.
Aalyria is establishing a European business headquarters based in London to oversee the work on orchestration systems for 5G and 6G terrestrial and nonterrestrial networks.
Aalyria, a spinoff from Google parent company Alphabet, has attracted U.S. and international government and commercial customers for its Spacetime networking technology and Tightbeam optical communications technology. ESA is the first international space agency customer Aalyria has announced.
Expanding Aalyria’s international business is important because “we are creating a new universal connectivity fabric. That means planetary connectivity, not just state borders,” Chris Taylor, Aalyria founder and CEO, told SpaceNews by email.
