Aalyria Secures $100M for Space-Air-Ground Networks
23 Feb
Summary
- Aalyria raised $100 million, valuing the company at $1.3 billion.
- Its Spacetime platform dynamically routes data across networks.
- Telesat will integrate Spacetime into its Lightspeed LEO constellation.
Aalyria announced a significant $100 million funding round on February 23, 2026, valuing the Californian venture at $1.3 billion. This capital injection is set to bolster the deployment of laser terminals and advanced software crucial for dynamically routing data across integrated space, air, and ground networks.
The company's Spacetime platform is engineered to coordinate these complex communication links in real time. It adeptly allocates capacity and manages traffic flow as satellites, aircraft, and ground terminals navigate dynamic environments. This real-time orchestration aims to enhance both speed and security.
In a key development, Canadian geostationary operator Telesat has announced that Spacetime will be a core component of its forthcoming Lightspeed low Earth orbit (LEO) constellation, slated for rollout next year. This partnership highlights the critical role of Aalyria's technology in advanced network architectures.
The U.S. government has also partnered with Aalyria to demonstrate Spacetime's capabilities through the Defense Innovation Unit's hybrid space architecture initiative. Furthermore, the company has established a European presence following a contract with the European Space Agency in 2023.
Funds will also facilitate the expansion of Aalyria's Tightbeam laser terminals, a technology with roots in earlier Google research. These terminals, alongside the Spacetime platform, position Aalyria at the forefront of next-generation satellite and terrestrial network integration.
