CesiumAstro <\/b>submitted an FCC filing for a 737-satellite constellation called Synchronicity to provide reconfigurable connectivity to fixed and mobile satellite users. <\/p>\n
CesiumAstro, which is based in Austin, Texas, builds software-defined radios and phased arrays and processor systems, and has moved into end-to-end missions. Last year the company announced its Element reconfigurable satellite platform, but this is the first indication it plans to launch its own constellation. <\/p>\n
According to the July 6 FCC filing, the company requests to launch Synchronicity in two tranches, one tranche at 1200 km and the other at 1100 km. It will operate across Ku-, Ka-, and V-band frequencies. Cesium has asked the FCC to grant the license before January 6, 2027.<\/p>\n
Synchronicity is designed to provide a \u201cflexible and technically differentiated\u201d fixed satellite service (FSS) system in Non-Geostationary Orbit (NGSO) to support fixed and mobile users across enterprise, government, industrial, mobility, and specialized commercial environments, the company said. <\/p>\n
CesiumAstro said one of the core advantages of the constellation will be the company\u2019s vertical integration and reconfigurable processing and phased arrays. <\/p>\n
\u201cCesiumAstro designs satellites, phased arrays, processors, waveforms, software, and artificial intelligence traffic optimization tools in-house to allow the communications chain to be engineered as a unified platform that can change waveforms, beam configurations, and frequency schemes to satisfy geography, mission, or customer needs,\u201d the company said in the filing. <\/p>\n
The filing also addressed CesiumAstro\u2019s user terminal strategy, that Synchronicity will support both CesiumAstro terminals, and compatible terminals from other vendors to give customers choice and to support a broad ecosystem of equipment manufacturers,integrators, and service providers. <\/p>\n
\u201cThis approach will allow CesiumAstro to address business-to-business, government, mobility, industrial, and specialized commercial applications without forcing all customers into a single equipment model,\u201d the filing said. <\/p>\n
This comes after CesiumAstro raised $270 million in a Series C earlier this year, in addition to $200 million in Export-Import Bank of the United States (EXIM) financing. The company is is building out a new 270,000 square foot campus near Austin, Texas, to consolidate engineering, electronics manufacturing and satellite and critical technology manufacturing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
