What Astrome Technologies does

Astrome Technologies is an India-based deep-tech company founded in 2015 by IISc-trained entrepreneurs Neha Satak (CEO) and Prasad HL Bhat (CTO/Chairman) that designs and builds millimeter-wave wireless and satellite communication hardware. The company has assembled a portfolio of eight products spanning terrestrial and space segments. On the terrestrial side, GigaMesh is an E-band (80 GHz) wireless backhaul radio featuring a world-first auto-aligned multi-beam phased array antenna that delivers multi-Gbps fiber-like throughput over up to 20 km. On the space side, the lineup includes GigaSat (flat-panel satellite antenna terminal), OrbiThru (FPGA-based software-defined modem compliant with DVB-S2/S2X), Astream (S/X/K-band transceivers), Astralink (S/Ka/V-band inter-satellite links), CUBEINT (AI/ML-driven ELINT/SIGINT constellation), SpaceNet (software-defined E-band satellite payload), and SBaaS (150 kg modular satellite bus platform). Underlying the portfolio is a common technology stack of patented millimeter-wave RF, phased array antennas with electronic beamsteering, and software-defined modem architectures developed at IISc.

• ThinKom Solutions: Manufacturer of flat-panel and phased-array satellite antennas with software-driven beam forming for aero, maritime, and land-mobile. Closely comparable to GigaSat in technology and target use cases.
• Terran Orbital: US-based satellite bus manufacturer and LEO constellation operator offering end-to-end small satellite solutions. Directly comparable to Astrome's SBaaS offering for LEO constellation deployment.
• Azista Industries: Indian aerospace and small satellite manufacturer selected alongside Astrome and Dhruva Space by IN-SPACe for SBaaS. Direct competitor in India's indigenous satellite bus market.
• Satixfy: Developer of satellite communication chips and flat-panel antennas, including software-defined modem technology overlapping with Astrome's OrbiThru and SpaceNet products.
• Aviat Networks: US-headquartered provider of wireless transport and backhaul solutions including microwave and E-band radios. Direct competitor to Astrome's GigaMesh in carrier-grade backhaul markets.
• York Space Systems: US manufacturer of standardized satellite buses and turn-key space missions serving government and commercial constellation customers. Comparable to Astrome's SBaaS in business model and customer profile.
