DENVER, October 4, 2021 (BridgeComm PR) — BridgeComm, Inc., a leader in optical wireless communications (OWC) solutions and services, today announced that it will enter into a strategic agreement with HySpecIQ, a satellite-powered hyperspectral analytics company. BridgeComm’s high-speed optical downlink was selected for integration on HySpecIQ’s new low earth orbit (LEO) constellation.
BridgeComm’s laser communications downlink terminals and network of optical ground stations, will enable ultra secure, ultra fast, very high data transmission capabilities necessary for the HySpecIQ mission.
“This new agreement is an extension of a long-standing relationship with HySpecIQ, further exhibiting BridgeComm’s fast and secure, enterprise-grade broadband services for satellite constellations,” said Barry Matsumori, CEO of BridgeComm. “The blending of our technologies and systems will provide invaluable data with impressive speeds as more LEO constellations are launched.”
To further their position as a leading provider of hyperspectral imagery, HySpecIQ recently secured investment funding by venture capitalist Peter Thiel. The investment accelerates the growth of its satellite constellation program, delivering hyperspectral imagery with unprecedented resolution and global reach.
“We are eager to extend our satellite constellation program and hyperspectral imagery capabilities with BridgeComm’s integration,” said Bill Sullivan, Executive Chairman and founder of HySpecIQ. “By leveraging BridgeComm’s extensive work in free-space optical technology, we will provide secure data transmissions with high bandwidth that will aid governmental and commercial decision makers to take decisive action.”
In 2020, HySpecIQ selected BridgeComm as the OWC solution provider for its low earth orbit constellation, providing high-resolution hyperspectral imaging. This collaboration further solidifies OWC as a scalable communications solution, providing ultra-high-speed throughput with a faster, more secure network optimized for multiple domains.
