Officina Stellare and Skyloom Global Corp sign LOI for Skyloom Europe JV

Events & News

Officina Stellare S.p.A is proud to announce the signing of a Letter of Intent with Skyloom Global – an American pioneer in Space multi-orbit data transport services and laser communication technologies – for the establishment of a Joint-Venture, named “Skyloom Europe”.

Skyloom Europe will revolutionize the field of global telecommunication infrastructures through the establishment of a high-throughput production plant in Italy. This facility will focus on the manufacturing of optical communication terminals for advanced encryption techniques utilizing quantum coding (QKD) for airborne and space applications such as multi-orbit satellite network services.

Strategically positioned in the Veneto region, close to Officina Stellare headquarters, the joint venture will not only leverage mutual engineering and production synergies, but and will also pioneer in-house R&D initiatives aimed at developing innovative products for secure optical communications, such as groundbreaking Quantum Communication free-space systems for space and airborne connectivity thanks to the mature QKD technologies already available at Officina Stellare S.p.A.

Siamo orgogliosi di annunciare la firma di una lettera d’intenti con Skyloom Global – società americana pioniera nei servizi di trasporto dati spaziali multi-orbita e nelle tecnologie di comunicazione laser – per la costituzione di una joint-venture denominata “Skyloom Europe”.

Skyloom Europe prevede la realizzazione di un impianto produttivo ad elevata capacità, destinato alla realizzazione di terminali ottici di volo per applicazioni di intersatellite link terra-orbita ed orbita-orbita, sia ordinarie che criptate tramite codifica quantistica (#QKD) e per servizi di GEO-relay.

Skyloom Europe sarà basata in Veneto, nelle vicinanze dell’headquarters di Officina Stellare al fine di ottimizzare le sinergie ingegneristiche e produttive. Oltre alla produzione di massa dei prodotti già esistenti, la società sarà operativa nello sviluppo di nuove soluzioni con un’area dedicata all’attività di R&D proprietarie mirate, in particolare, alla realizzazione di nuovi prodotti di comunicazione ottica sicura, tra cui i sistemi free-space di #Quantum Communication e i sistemi airbone (velivoli/droni-satellite e velivoli/droni-Terra), grazie anche alla messa a sistema di altre tecnologie già mature e disponibili all’interno del Gruppo Officina Stellare S.p.A.

“E’ con grande soddisfazione che annunciamo questa importante Joint Venture”, afferma Gino Bucciol, VP of Business Development di Officina Stellare S.p.A, “segnale di una evidente accelerazione nell’interesse di istituzioni e governi nazionali nei confronti della tecnologia delle telecomunicazioni di nuova generazione, anche a seguito dell’evoluzione della situazione geopolitica mondiale. Skyloom Europe fornirà soluzioni globali per la connettività a banda larga nell’ambito delle costellazioni Europee civili, governative e militari, ottimizzando il flusso di dati (sicurezza, velocità di banda, latenza, accessibilità) tra satelliti e da/verso la Terra. Un risultato importante che è il completamento perfetto di quanto Officina Stellare S.p.A già da tempo sta facendo con successo nel segmento delle comunicazioni ottiche di Terra.”
