Skynopy

Skynopy is a French company, based in Paris, that offers ground station as a service for satellite operators. Its website describes an end-to-end service that lets operators communicate with satellites in low Earth orbit, with the aim of making ground segment access as simple as mobile connectivity.

What Skynopy provides

• A hybrid ground station network that combines a timeshared antenna system with Skynopy's own ground stations, orchestrated through its platform with virtualised modem technology
• Access to the ground networks through a single API
• A choice of onboard radio and antennas, and support for satellite to ground testing and integration
• Optimisation of the ground station network and of modulation and coding, to improve data latency and revisit time
• End-to-end sovereignty of data from satellite to cloud, through a network of strategically located stations that gives multiple contacts per orbit
