What ALTYS Technologies Inc does

ALTYS Technologies Inc, founded in 2000 and headquartered in Toulouse, France (with a US branch in Miami), is a privately held engineering company specializing in digital CNS/ATM (Communication, Navigation, Surveillance / Air Traffic Management) systems for the civil aviation industry. The company designs, develops, and delivers a proprietary full-stack portfolio spanning software-defined radio hardware (MICRA receivers, EXTRA transceivers, ADELIS ATN routers), big-data analytics and monitoring software (COSMOS, APA protocol analyzer), airport surface surveillance (SAGA, DARIUS), and simulation/testing platforms (DREAM, PEER, POCKET) used by aircraft manufacturers for EASA certification of datalink avionics. Underlying technologies include SDR-based VHF communications, NoSQL distributed clustering for real-time data processing, multi-sensor data fusion (radar, MLAT, ADS-B, video, LIDAR), and support for legacy and next-generation protocols (ACARS, VDL2, ATN/OSI, ATN/IPS, FANS 1/A).

ALTYS generates revenue through a combination of one-time hardware and software system sales (priced quote-based per project), recurring software subscriptions (SAGA and COSMOS offered as on-site hosted platforms or SaaS with adaptive pricing based on traffic volumes), and participation in EU-funded R&D consortia (SESAR Joint Undertaking, Clean Sky 2) where it reinvests 20% of annual revenue into research. The company sells directly to enterprise customers — Air Navigation Service Providers (NATS, EUROCONTROL ecosystem), aircraft manufacturers and airlines (Airbus, Embraer, Dassault, DAHER, Air Hamburg), airports (GVK MIAL at Mumbai CSIA), and aviation IT service providers (SITA) — primarily through direct field sales, trade shows (MRO Europe, World ATM Congress), and consortium-based demand generation. Notable customers include SITA (ADELIS routers at Amsterdam data center), Harris Corporation (FAA DCIS Partner Diamond Award 2014), NATS (ELSA consortium), GVK MIAL (SAGA deployment), and Air Hamburg (POCKET for PM-CPDLC retrofit).
