Terminal developer All.Space and network orchestration software company Aalyria are teaming up to demonstrate interoperable communications across domains, specifically for defense scenarios. 

Under a new strategic partnership announced Tuesday, the companies said they plan to demonstrate interoperability and dynamic link orchestration across all orbits and terrestrial infrastructure, with All.Space’s Hydra terminals and Aalyria’s Spacetime orchestration software.

The goal is to create a “network-of-networks” across multiple orbits, 5G, terrestrial and cloud systems, to keep defense users connected in the event of electronic warfare, anti-satellite actions, jamming, and cyber attacks. The companies pointed to this capability being aligned with the Pentagon’s priorities for Joint All-Domain Command and Control (JADC2) and Next Generation Command & Control (NGC2). 

“Orchestration partnerships are essential to the future of defense communications. With Aalyria, we are able to deliver an autonomous satcom mesh that thinks, adapts, and optimizes in real time. Together, we are building the interoperable architecture to support the Pentagon’s needs,” All.Space CTO John-Paul Szczepanik said in a release. 

All.Space’s Hydra terminal line is designed to access multiple satellite networks from one device at the same time. And Aalyria has demonstrated its Spacetime orchestration software platform to the U.S. government as part of the Defense Innovation Unit’s Hybrid Space Architecture. 

“Our collaboration with All.Space exemplifies what the Hybrid Space Architecture is meant to achieve – a truly autonomous, software-defined network spanning every orbit and transport layer,” Aalyria CTO Dr. Brian Barritt said in a release.
