Building on strong technical complementarity and prior collaborations, this strategic move brings together Anywaves’ expertise in compact, high-performance antennas and EmTroniX’s advanced RF electronics and software-defined radio capabilities.   Together, the new group now covers a broader portion of the RF value chain—from individual components to fully integrated payload subsystems—enabling more optimized, reliable solutions while reducing interface complexity for satellite manufacturers.   With an expanded international footprint across Europe and the United States, we are well positioned to support both commercial and defense programs, and to accelerate innovation in telecom, Earth observation, and exploration missions.

Conducted tests deliver precise results for power, gain, etc., but bypass the antenna and can miss real-world issues like radiation patterns or mismatches. Radiated tests in anechoic chambers capture full performance but **can be costly and cumbersome** for fast constellation schedules.

It focuses the signal without adding power, boosting strength over distance—essential for overcoming path loss in LEO, enabling reliable TT&C, and achieving high data rates in downlinks. **Higher gain means narrower beams and stronger targeted signals**.
