SatixFy Communications from Rehovot, Israel, announced  a $60 million transaction with Canada based MDA Ltd. The deal is a combination of a $40 million share purchase agreement, selling SatixFy Space Systems UK to MDA as well as an additional $20 million in advanced payments under new commercial agreements which includes the previous $10 million advanced payment made in June to be applied to future orders of chips.

SatixFy will continue to retain all its related ASIC intellectual property and new chips’ development for satellite digital payloads.
