Data transmission via satellite is indispensable for sustainable development. We supply the key components for satellite communications technology and are continuously improving them. As the leading manufacturer of secure space-based communications, we are helping to connect the world and make it a better place to live.

Every day, we are working on our contribution to sustainable development:

We help people to connect, stay informed, and find their way.

We enable better earth observation for climate, disaster prevention, security and higher yields in agriculture.

We contribute to scientific progress. We cooperate with universities and serve various scientific projects such as the James Webb telescope.

On our 63,000m² premises in Backnang, Germany, about 1,100 employees develop, assemble, integrate, and test products, systems and solutions for satellite communications. To date, nearly 1,000 space projects have been completed. More than half of all communication satellites in orbit have TESAT equipment on board.

We offer the complete communication technology necessary, for example to emit television signals via satellite antennas to each household. As the first organization in the world, we have been developing and delivering equipment for optical broadband communication in space. Advantages of laser communication are the high data transfer rate, its transmission security and its stability. More than 85,000 laser transmissions have been successfully performed so far.

From a social point of view, we value different perspectives, backgrounds, experiences, skills and individual qualities. Together, we stand for a culture of open discussion, integrity, focus, entrepreneurial thinking and action, and leadership by example.

Environmental protection and the economical use of resources are part of our daily activities, from product development to production.

In short: We are shaping the future of communications. For our employees, for our customers, for our partners, for everyone. For a better world.
