Our take
Up until recently, users were obstructed from harnessing the full capabilities of satellites, as it has only been possible to connect to a single satellite at a time. ALL.SPACE has developed a fifth-generation smart terminal that is the first and currently the only platform capable of simultaneous full-performance connections to multiple satellites in different orbits.
The company (formerly known as Isotropic Systems) is partnered with Boeing, National Rail, Royal Air Force, CGI, and more) and has a backlog of orders for a range of commercial and NATO defence customers. Backed by impressive funding, it has demonstrated its technology for US and UK government agencies and multiple satellite service providers. It is now focussed on furthering in-market proof-and-concept programs and product delivery to customers, whilst it undertakes an acquisition by York Space Systems, at a reported price of $355 million.
