Aalyria
Advanced aerospace communications - laser terminals and network orchestration software.
Aalyria develops network orchestration software (Spacetime) and atmospheric laser communications technology (Tightbeam) for managing complex communications networks spanning land, sea, air, and space. Spun out of Google (Alphabet) in 2022, the company's technology enables adaptive, high-throughput connectivity for next-generation satellite constellations, military networks, and commercial communications. Government customers include AFRL and NASA, and in 2026 ALL.SPACE integrated Aalyria's Spacetime/Tightbeam technology into its Hydra MAX terminals for operational deployment.
