Founded in 2014 as a spin-off from the University of Trieste, PICOSATS is a company committed to the research, development and commercialisation of cutting-edge telecommunications systems for the small satellite market and beyond.
The increasing use of small satellites in low orbits for satellite communications and the spectrum congestion has demanded the development of high-frequency, miniaturized telecommunications systems, and PICOSATS has seized the opportunity to enter this rapidly expanding market. PICOSATS successfully accomplished the In Orbit Demonstrated of the first K/Ka transponder in LEO;two more systems, in K/Ka and in Ku band, are currently integrated on a private operator satellite for GEO applications, two additional K/Ka band systems are integrated on a ESA satellite for a 5G precursor LEO mission, in both cases the launch is foreseen by Q1 2025.
The development of these products makes use of the know-how acquired by the company through various opportunities provided by the European and Italian Space Agencies. Along with the transponders, PICOSATS developed K/Ka and Ku-band horn antennas, X, K and Ka and Ku-band patch antennas, waveguide antennas, and a V-band double reflector antenna. A new high performance SDR is currently at TRL6.
