GomSpace announces the sale of the advanced software-defined radios (SDR's) to a European customer specializing in Signal Intelligence. The deal valued at 9MSEK, marks another significant milestone in the company’s commitment to enabling groundbreaking advancements in space missions.
Software-defined radios represent a transformative leap in space communication technology. Unlike traditional radios, which rely on fixed hardware, SDRs use software to perform signal processing, allowing for unmatched flexibility, adaptability, and reconfigurability. This means that mission operators can update or modify the radio’s functionality remotely, even after launch.
“Our software-defined radios are a game-changer for customers missions,” says Henrik Kalstrup, Vice President of Products Business Unit in GomSpace, “They provide unparalleled versatility, enabling our customers to adapt to evolving mission needs, optimize communication systems in real time, and even extend mission lifespans by incorporating new functionalities post-launch. This capability is particularly critical for missions in today’s fast-paced and ever-changing space environment.”
The demand for SDRs continues to grow as space missions become increasingly complex and multifaceted. Whether it is Signal Intelligence, Marine Domain Awareness or satellite constellations, SDRs offer enhanced communication capabilities, reduced hardware redundancy, and cost-efficiency.
The 9MSEK order highlights the trust and confidence that industry leaders place in GomSpace’s reliable and flight-proven solutions. GomSpace remains committed to driving innovation in space technology and delivering tools that empower its customers to achieve mission success.
