What Ayecka does

Ayecka Communication Systems Ltd. is an Israeli privately-held company founded in 2005 and headquartered in Kfar Saba, Israel, with an employee base of 11-50. The company designs and sells satellite communication ground equipment and core IP for the delivery of Internet Protocol and video over satellite links. Its portfolio spans broadband DVB-S2 modems (SR-1, ST-1, SM-1), the Very High Speed Modem for LEO constellations, IoT terminals (AR-1100, IoT First), a mobility terminal (MWT-1100), and test equipment (SAT Emulator, SAT SIM). Underlying the product line is proprietary technology including the FPGA-based Hardware Packet Accelerator (HPP) engine, the RFModem integrated all-outdoor VSAT modem (US Patent 9,401,536), LEO/MEO satellite handover technology (US Patent 9,961,008), and the patented ACM Overlay for upgrading legacy DVB-S networks. Ayecka also offers SDR-based satellite channel simulation products and edge cloud computing technology for satellite content delivery.

Ayecka monetizes through hardware sales of modems and test equipment, professional services for turnkey satellite infrastructure projects (system architecture, installation, commissioning, ongoing support), and Modemware software licensing. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The go-to-market is direct enterprise sales supported by a corporate website, download/support center, and a small social media presence (LinkedIn, Facebook). Customer segments are organized vertically and include defense industry, commercial telecommunications (cellular backhaul, IP trunking, VoIP backhaul, satcom-on-the-move), media and content delivery (digital signage, digital cinema, file distribution), and IoT/M2M verticals (transport, maritime, agriculture, oil and gas, utilities, mining). The only publicly named customer is Sky and Space Company Limited, for which Ayecka delivered IoT LEO user terminal prototypes in April 2023.

Ayecka's strategic posture has shifted toward the LEO and IoT opportunity. In 2023 it launched a dedicated LEO modem, IoT/M2M terminals, and a mobility terminal, and signed four new partnerships — notably with ReliaSat (co-developing a next-generation communication payload with Space Florida Israel), Sky and Space (IoT LEO user terminals), AADYAH, and KNET. Three granted U.S. patents and FPGA-based packet acceleration form the technical core of the company. Revenue is not disclosed and the company has no recorded funding rounds, suggesting a bootstrapped, cash-funded business. Avinoam Graber serves as CEO; the company has multiple co-founders including Avraham Barda, Andrey Shkinev, Baruch Kagan, Yaron Gottfried, and Israel Minis.
