A memorandum of understanding (MoU) between EuroSkyPark GmbH (Saarbrucken, Germany) and Greenerwave (Paris, France) will enable the former’s use of the latter’s satellite communications (satcom) antenna technology.

By means of the MoU, EuroSkyPark will enhance its SatConnect satcom systems across numerous satellite altitudes, including in geostationary (GEO) and low-Earth-orbit (LEO) satellites using Greenerwave antennas with reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) technology for the best reception. The MoU will help maintain 4G and 5G communications with terrestrial equipment during difficult operation conditions. 

The Ku GEO user terminal from Greenerwave (see image above) uses RIS technology to meet demanding size, weight, and power (SWaP) goals and support high-reliability efforts such as set forth by the critical infrastructure (KRITIS) program. Using metamaterials, Greenerwave’s antennas can precisely shape and steer electromagnetic (EM) waves in real-time while efficiently using power. Since the antennas and materials are manufactured in Europe, a strong European supply chain is established. 

Thomas Maul, CEO of EuroSkyPark GmbH, noted, “The signing of the MoU with Greenerwave is a strategic milestone for us and for our customers in critical infrastructure. In an era of growing threats from cyberattacks and large-scale power outages, energy and grid operators need absolute resilience against failure. Greenerwave’s multi-orbit antennas are a perfect fit for our commitment to delivering blackout-proof networks with 99.9% protection.” 

On the French side, Geoffroy Lerosey, president and cofounder of Greenerwave, added, “We are very pleased to partner with EuroSkyPark, which shares our ambition to make critical satellite communications more resilient, sovereign, and energy efficient.”

He added, “By combining our multi-orbit antenna technology with EuroSkyPark’s expertise, we are contributing to build a new generation of solutions capable of ensuring continuity of communications, even in the most demanding situations.”
