Reading-based ALL.SPACE, a provider of multi-orbit, multi-link SATCOM platforms, today announces a €3.42 million funding award to accelerate the development of the integration of 5G Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN) into their terminals.
The funding was awarded by the European Space Agency’s (ESA) Space for 5G/6G and Sustainable Connectivity strategic programme line, under ESA’s Advanced Research in Telecommunications Systems (ARTES). ARTES supports the development of advanced satcom products and services from within ESA’s Connectivity and Secure Communications directorate.
John-Paul Szczepanik, CTO at ALL.SPACE, said: “This funding marks a unique moment in our evolution and for anyone who needs proliferated, fast & secure communications anywhere on the planet. Our terminals are already providing multiple secure, high-speed connections for customers who need reliable connectivity wherever they operate, including in remote or challenging environments and on-the-move.
“This funding allows us to build on that foundation by pairing this with the emerging standards of 5G NTN to really unlock the concept of interoperability for satcom terminals across many networks. ESA’s support reflects a shared commitment to advancing European technology and competitiveness, helping ensure that secure, seamless communications remain available and flawlessly effective in the years ahead. We’re proving that resilient, flexible connectivity doesn’t have to stop when you leave terrestrial networks behind.”
ALL.SPACE was founded in 2013 with a vision to provide the solution to the challenges of multi-orbit communications. As the providers of advanced platforms for total communications convergence, ALL.SPACE aiming to shape the future of defense operations with their multi-link terminal, which reportedly connects seamlessly and simultaneously to all satellite and cellular networks.
ALL.SPACE has successfully delivered several development programmes with the ESA, UK Space Agency, UK MOD and the US DOD.
Laurent Jaffart, ESA’s Director of Connectivity and Secure Communications, added: “Through our long-standing ARTES programme, forging partnerships with innovative space companies such as ALL.SPACE will enable us to achieve our shared goal: to develop fast and resilient connectivity for customers across Europe and beyond.
“Such efforts strengthen European autonomy and resilience, while boosting economic growth and competitiveness, further allowing for the creation of jobs and prosperity.”
The funding will be used to integrate & host a software-defined 5G NTN modem from NXGSAT BV on ALL.SPACE’s integrated edge-compute module, enabling seamless interoperability between traditional satcoms and 5G NTN networks from a single user device.
This supports a wider ambition for convergence of SatCom and cellular networks, delivering future-proof connectivity solutions for, government, and commercial customers; strengthening the standardisations effort that is needed for SatComs.
This funding will advance ALL.SPACE’s transition to a hybrid business model, blending high-performance terminal hardware with subscription-based software services that enhance value, security, and operational independence for users.
