Apolink develops inter-satellite and ground-to-space optical communication links, enabling high-bandwidth data relay for LEO constellations and deep space missions.
Apolink is a space communications technology company developing laser-based optical inter-satellite links (ISLs) and ground-to-space communication systems. As satellite constellations grow denser and data throughput demands increase, traditional radio frequency (RF) links face spectrum congestion and bandwidth limitations—optical communications offer a path to gigabit and terabit-class links with lower size, weight, and power (SWaP) requirements.
Astranis is building the world's smallest geostationary communication satellites, providing dedicated broadband connectivity to underserved countries and island regions. HQ: San Francisco.
Astranis is a satellite internet company building the world's smallest geostationary (GEO) communication satellites — roughly the size of a washing machine at ~400kg, compared to traditional telecom satellites weighing 6,000kg+. Founded in 2015 by John Gedmark and Ryan McLinko, Astranis has developed a miniaturized satellite platform that dramatically reduces the cost and lead time of deploying dedicated broadband capacity to underserved regions. Its satellites are designed to provide dedicated broadband capacity — not shared like LEO constellation services (Starlink) — to island nations, remote regions, and underserved countries that lack terrestrial broadband infrastructure.
