Aalyria

Aalyria is a software and hardware company that runs wireless networks while they move. Its networks cross land, sea, air and space. The company sells two products, Spacetime and Tightbeam.

Aalyria explains the problem simply. Most wireless networks broadcast widely, which wastes power and loses speed over long distances. Narrow, directional beams are faster, reach farther and are harder to intercept. But moving vehicles, weather and terrain keep breaking those links. The company says this has held back more than 40 years of US defense efforts to join up land, sea, air and space networks.

Spacetime is a managed platform for developers. Normal software-defined networking can reroute traffic, but it cannot create new physical links between satellites, aircraft, ships and ground stations. Spacetime predicts and manages those links. It can schedule them in advance, so the network adjusts before a problem and not after. It keeps a digital twin of each platform's position and motion. The company says Spacetime has run more than 2,000,000 hours of lights-out orchestration and spent three years in production on Google's Loon network. It lists a technology readiness level of 9.

Spacetime can run in a commercial cloud, on site, in a hybrid setup or in an air-gapped classified setting. It uses open APIs and open-source southbound APIs, so customers avoid single-vendor lock-in. Customers can have their own sovereign instances, and the company says their traffic never touches its systems.

Tightbeam is a free-space optical communication product. It sends laser links at up to 100 Gbps over long distances. The company reports ground-to-air links approaching 200 km, built on decades of national lab work across six terminal generations. The terminals come in fixed and gimballed forms with a 170 mm aperture. They are made for land and air use, with sea and space uses planned.

Aalyria names uses in commercial satellite operations, earth observation, 5G and 6G non-terrestrial networks, in-space relay and defense hybrid satellite communications.
