6 March, 2025

The fund will support the development of an advanced software suite for digital satellite payloads and for the real-time control and monitoring of LEO/MEO/GEO payloads

SatixFy Communications announced that it has secured funding of £1.8 million (approximately $2.3 million) from the UK Space Agency under its C-LEO program, for the development of an advanced software suite for digital satellite payloads. Based in Rehovot, Israel, SatixFy provides next-generation satellite communication systems based on in-house-designed chipsets. The funds will support SatixFy’s development of advanced regenerative and digital beamforming software, addressing the increasing demand for software-reconfigurable satellite payloads.

The software is designed for real-time control and monitoring of LEO/MEO/GEO payloads, whether based on DVB, 3GPP, or other waveform families. The software is expected to play a pivotal role in enabling highly flexible, adaptive, and intelligent satellite networks. It has being designed to seamlessly integrate with SatixFy’s Sx4000 regenerative processor ASIC and Prime 2.0 digital beamforming integrated circuits.

Together, these chipsets and intelligent software are expected to provide satellite operators with a comprehensive, end-to-end solution. “Completion of the development of this software, designed by SatixFy UK, would mark a strategic expansion of our portfolio,” said Nir Barkan, Chief Executive Officer of SatixFy. The C-LEO program is a UK Space Agency initiative aimed at advancing Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite technologies, ensuring that the UK remains competitive in the rapidly evolving global market for low-earth orbit constellations.
