Delivering
end to end connectivity
UNIO will provide super-fast and
ultra-secure broadband connectivity
services for mobile and stationary
applications on the entire globe – no
matter on land, in the sea and in the air.
UNIO Enterprise is a LEO satellite operator, focussed on delivering ultra-low latent broadband connectivity for mobile and fixed applications.
Our LEO satellite constellation will carry 2 communication layers, both RF and optical, which serve user terminals, satellites and ground stations, enabling an unmatched secure communication.
The invincible backbone
of Europe in space
Regenerative design
UNIO will operate a software-defined communication system that can be reconfigured, depending on the data traffic density on ground – adoptable to customer needs and requirements.
Quality guaranteed
The system communication platform will deliver a high quality of service (latency, high date rate). This is achieved by reconfiguring the channels based on the data traffic type.
Efficient
Thanks to the platform (space & ground) efficiency, UNIO’s secure connectivity layer piggybacks on a broad range of regular connectivity services. As result, improved secure and connectivity updates come with almost no additional cost for customers, which makes it the ideal solution to support the protection of critical communication infrastructures of any kind.
Inclusive
Designed to harmoniously provide synergies with all existing EU space programs as well as all communication infrastructures are in service today.
Vertically integrated
UNIO will be vertically integrated that will drive the cost low through economies of scale and reuse of the design throughout the platform. With continuous evolution of technology, we are focusing on high Integration of the platform that will drive down the mass of the satellites.
Our mission
High-quality broadband connectivity for global mobile and stationary users
Priorities
Connecting humanity by providing affordable high speed broadband connectivity, ultra-low latency and unique security
Security of tomorrow
is designed today.
It is not enough to establish communication routes; they also need to be safeguarded by the most effective self-defense technology we can offer.
Milestones
Demo Mission 2025
Phase 1
Successful study and
next steps
After winning and handing over the study in July 2022, it has proved that the blueprints for the UNIO constellation is successful. The next 2 years will be used to simulate, build hardware/software and test the complete end-to-end system.
Phase 2
The demo
mission
We will launch a first demonstration mission to prove that all three main pillars of our magic mission work together flawlessly: The launcher Spectrum, the satellites, software and payloads, the laser link system with ground stations and quantum style security.
Phase 3
Constellation
Roll out
From 2026, manufacturing and launch of UNIO.
Behind UNIO
The joint venture is led by four architects and entrepreneurial centers of gravity
Isar Aerospace, Europe’s most flexible launch system, ideally suited for satellite constellations.
Mynaric, with their World known laser terminals for ground and Space.
Satellite manufacturer Reflex Aerospace, owner of an innovative approach to satellite design and manufacturing.
SES, world’ leading satellite operator, supports UNIO with frequencies and landing rights as well as with the operations center.
UNIO is targeting autonomous
mobility and high speed data
connectivity
Connected cars
and autonomous driving
Satellite supports autonomous mobility applications: Terrestrial networks are supplemented whenever needed and users are provided with a seamless connectivity experience.
User
terminals
The user terminals are an essential part of the system and provided by UNIO. They will be compact, light, easy to install.
System tracking between
satellites and ground terminals
The satellite beams will point to the user terminals and remain there until the handover to the next satellite. The user terminal will be multi-beam operational and able to track multiple satellites simultaneously.
“Mynaric, together with rocket launch provider Isar Aerospace and satellite manufacturer Reflex Aerospace, form the inner circle of the UNIO consortium that leads a group of currently around twenty involved European companies and organizations”
“UNIO plans include a first demonstrator as early as 2023, followed by more than 400 laser-linked satellites to give Europe a fully operational network by 2025.”
“Junge deutsche Tech-Konzerne spielen auf dem Feld ganz oben mit. Wenn der Staat die Muster überholter Förderpolitik verlässt, könnte daraus tatsächlich Großes werden.”
“Deutsche Satelliten-Flotte will das Musk-Monopol verhindern”
“Als Vorbild für junge Frauen, die Führungspositionen in bisher männerdominierten Bereichen anstreben, ob in der Raumfahrt, Naturwissenschaft oder anderswo.”
