Satlab

Satlab A/S is a Danish company that builds radio systems for small satellites. Its website says the people behind Satlab have been designing and building micro and nano satellites since the beginning of the CubeSat era in 2003, and that the main focus is software defined radio subsystems for micro and nano satellites along with more traditional hardware based transceivers for telemetry, tracking and command, and for data.

Focus

Satlab specialises in advanced radio systems for highly embedded applications. Its main focus area is customer-tailored, software defined radio based payloads for nano and micro satellites, as well as telemetry, tracking and command systems. The site also notes that custom hardware and software requests can often be accommodated through its research and development section.
