What SPACEKEYS does

SPACEKEYS GmbH is a Vienna-based aviation software company that develops GNSS RAIM (Receiver Autonomous Integrity Monitoring) prediction solutions for the commercial aviation sector. The company was established as a project funded by the European Space Agency (ESA) under the NAVISP programme (NAVISP EL2-007), positioning it within a European institutional funding framework for satellite navigation innovation, and maintains participation in the GPS-Galileo Working Group C under a U.S.-EU Agreement for Advanced RAIM standards development.

The company's product portfolio centers on RAIM PRO, a SaaS solution that performs worldwide RAIM predictions for all aircraft types and navigation specifications including ADS-B and Advanced RAIM. The platform supports receivers compliant with TSO-C129, TSO-C196, and TSO-C145/146 standards, and offers a RESTful API architecture with queue-based push notifications, a 3D globe visualization interface, dynamic terrain screening for RNP-AR approach procedures, and ADS-B mandate compliance including US FAA AC-90 114A. The architecture is cloud-native and deployable on AWS or Azure with resilient multi-location component deployment, processing trillion-level RAIM predictions and million-level ADS-B predictions at worldwide scale. Complementary offerings include RAIM ANSP—a customized white-label licensing product for Civil Aviation Authorities and Air Navigation Service Providers—and the A-RAIM Test Bed, which implements the latest stable Working Group C published airborne algorithm with Galileo constellation support.

SPACEKEYS operates a B2B enterprise sales motion targeting aviation operators including commercial airlines, ANSPs, flight planning system providers, and flight following services, with revenue generated through subscription-based RAIM PRO services and customized licensing arrangements for ANSP-specific deployments. The company maintains a strategic partnership with Flightkeys, a related aviation technology entity. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed.

Emerging players

• Aireon: Aireon operates space-based ADS-B surveillance using the Iridium NEXT constellation, providing global ADS-B data to ANSPs and airlines. It directly overlaps with SPACEKEYS's ADS-B prediction capability and serves many of the same ANSP customers.

Broad incumbents

• Thales Group: Thales is a global avionics and air traffic management prime, producing navigation aids, surveillance systems, and ATM solutions. It serves the same ANSP and commercial operator customer base as SPACEKEYS across a much broader portfolio.
• Frequentis: Frequentis is an Austrian-headquartered air traffic management and mission-critical communications specialist, serving ANSPs and aviation authorities worldwide. Its ATM customer base overlaps directly with SPACEKEYS's RAIM ANSP target segment.
• Honeywell Aerospace: Honeywell is a tier-one avionics prime producing navigation, flight management, and surveillance systems for commercial and business aviation. Its broad portfolio overlaps with SPACEKEYS's GNSS navigation integrity focus through integrated FMS and navigation subsystems.
• Collins Aerospace: Collins Aerospace (RTX) supplies avionics, flight management, and surveillance equipment to commercial, business, and military aviation. Its navigation and surveillance portfolio overlaps with SPACEKEYS's RAIM/ADS-B prediction focus at the system-integration level.
• L3Harris Technologies: L3Harris produces avionics, surveillance, and navigation systems for commercial and defense aviation. Its ADS-B and CNS/ATM portfolio serves overlapping airline and ANSP customers with broader integrated offerings.
• Jeppesen (Boeing): Jeppesen, a Boeing subsidiary, is the dominant provider of flight planning, navigation charts, and operational data services to commercial airlines worldwide. It addresses the same airline customers SPACEKEYS targets but as part of a broad flight planning suite, making it a broad incumbent with overlapping RAIM-related functionality.
• Garmin Aviation: Garmin is a major avionics manufacturer for general aviation, business jets, and commercial aviation, producing GNSS navigation receivers and integrated avionics. Its receiver standards (e.g., TSO-C146) are the hardware counterparts to SPACEKEYS's RAIM prediction software.
• Indra Sistemas: Indra is a Spanish IT and defense company with a significant air traffic management and aviation business, serving ANSPs globally. Its ATM portfolio competes for similar procurement budgets that SPACEKEYS targets with its RAIM ANSP offering.

Direct peers

• Flightkeys: Flightkeys is identified on SPACEKEYS's own website as its 'partner company' in the aviation technology sector, providing adjacent flight planning software. The two operate in overlapping aviation software workflows (flight planning and RAIM prediction integration), making Flightkeys the closest commercially linked peer.
