Officina Stellare and Skyloom Global Corp. USA announce the signing of a Technology and License Agreement and a Teaming Agreement for the Skyloom Europe Project
It is with excitement that we announce the signing of Technology and License Agreements and a Teaming Agreement to launch the “Skyloom Europe” Project, that will revolutionize optical communications across European civil and military sectors.
The Project aims to foster cooperation between Officina Stellare and Skyloom for the commercialization of optical communication technologies and services under the brand name “Skyloom Europe.”
This initiative will involve the establishment of a NewCo in Italy, entirely owned by Officina Stellare, and the creation of a high-capacity production facility to meet the growing and evolving global market demand for optical communications, to bridge a significant gap in the continental supply chain.
Officina Stellare signs new ASI contract for quantum and lasercom ground station
Officina Stellare S.p.A. has signed a significant new contract with the Italian Space Agency (ASI) for the design and construction of a complete and transportable optical ground station for applications such as quantum communication and Lasercom.
The system will be interoperable with the EuroQCI system and compatible with future scenarios beyond LEO orbit. Officina Stellare will lead the project with its subsidiary ThinkQuantum S.r.l. and partners such as Thales Alenia Space Italia and Telespazio.
“Optical Ground stations represent the connection point between terrestrial networks and new space-based laser-modulated telecommunication segments,” says Gino Bucciol, Business Development Director of Officina Stellare. “This contract allows the Officina Stellare Group to further consolidate its leadership in this specific sector, while simultaneously elevating the technological level of its products. This essential tool will enhance Italy’s role in next-generation infrastructure, ensuring secure and high-speed communications between continents.”
Officina Stellare signs contract with Thales Alenia Space Italia for HyDRON optical ground station
We are pleased to announce the signing of a new multi-year contract with Thales Alenia Space Italia for the design and construction of a complete optical ground station for laser communication applications, as part of the HyDRON (High Throughput Optical Network) program, funded by the European Space Agency (ESA).
The HyDRON program aims to create the world’s first multi-orbit optical network with ultra-high-speed space transmission capabilities, extending terrestrial fiber optic networks into orbit.
This project includes the development, implementation, and validation of units that are key to achieving reliable and efficient optical communication between satellites and ground stations.
The HyDRON Element #2 project leverages the expertise gained from previous developments by Officina Stellare in the field of optical communications and represents a crucial step towards the future infrastructure of global telecommunications, ensuring greater security and independence from traditional networks.
Officina Stellare Secures QCI Contract for Quantum Lasercom Ground Station
Officina Stellare will provide a complete optical ground station for laser communication applications and quantum key distribution to the Cyprus University of Technology (QCI).
Just a few hours ago, the news of this new contract was announced. “A strategic initiative,” says Gino Bucciol, Co-founder and VP of Business Development at Officina Stellare, “that positions us among the key players in view of the opportunities that will arise in the coming years, where key quantum distribution will be crucial for the future of long-distance communications and global security.”
Officina Stellare signs a new contract with the German Aerospace Center, DLR
We’re proud to announce a new milestone: Officina Stellare will supply a complete optical ground station for time distribution applications supporting the second-generation ESA – European Space Agency satellite navigation constellation, GALILEO, as part of ESA’s OpSTAR (Optical Synchronized Time And Ranging) program.
“We are ready to take on this new challenge,” says Gino Bucciol, Co-founder and VP of Business Development at Officina Stellare. “The performance of global positioning and navigation networks must evolve to support new mobility services and applications. Laser technologies developed for telecommunications are inherently enabling and represent a significant step forward in this field.”
