Week in Space Data, every Friday.
Spun out of Alphabet in 2022, Aalyria builds network orchestration software and free-space optical communication systems, carrying forward technology from Project Loon and Fsoc.
ACTIVEAalyria builds Spacetime, a managed platform for orchestrating networks in motion across land, sea, air and space, and Tightbeam, free-space optical (laser) communication terminals. Both technologies were developed at Google, from which Aalyria spun out in 2022; Spacetime ran in production on Google's Loon network.
Aalyria's Spacetime platform provides AI-driven network orchestration for heterogeneous communications networks that span satellites, high-altitude platforms, aircraft, ships, and terrestrial infrastructure. Combined with its Tightbeam laser communication hardware, Aalyria enables seamless connectivity management across domains.
