What Profen does

Profen is a privately held Turkish aerospace and defense technology company founded in 1995, headquartered in Istanbul with additional offices in Ankara and Konya. The company designs and manufactures satellite ground segment solutions including GaN-based RF power amplifiers (DBS, X, Ku, Ka bands), next-generation phased array antennas, LEO/MEO/GEO tracking ground stations, SATCOM-On-The-Move (SOTM) terminals, high-precision rotary joints, and ground telemetry systems, complemented by software products such as the Visionic NMS network management system, the AI-integrated EagleEYE monitor and control platform, and the Nspector spectrum analyzer. The Konya Teleport, established in 2016, operates as Turkey's first and only independent Ka-band teleport, anchoring Profen's managed services capability alongside its hardware portfolio.

The company serves three primary verticals — defense and security, broadcast and media, and satellite/telecom operators — with secondary exposure to energy/utilities and logistics. Reference customers include the Turkish Defense Industry, Turksat, and Morocco's SNRT. Profen generates revenue through four streams: hardware sales of proprietary RF and ground segment products, managed teleport and satellite network services, professional consulting and system integration, and recurring IoT platform subscriptions (OCPP for EV charging, MQTT for power plants, spectrum and border monitoring).

Go-to-market combines direct enterprise sales to government and defense customers with a structured Business Partner Ecosystem offering Distributor and Project Partner models, supported by active participation in major international industry events (IDEF, IBC, IAC, CABSAT, Satellite, World Satellite Business Week). The company employs 450 people across multiple in-house R&D disciplines, has executed 12+ TEYDEB R&D projects, and is expanding internationally through partnerships with Anchor Technologies (Malaysia), Azercosmos (Azerbaijan), and GalaxySpace (China).
