Groundcom builds a network of antennas situated in various locations in the world, which is used to control space satellites and download data from them. Groundcom develops, builds and operates such antennas (called ground stations) and acts as a ground-satellite communication provider.

This infrastructure is key to shortening the time needed to download e.g. earth imagery from satellites down to earth. The goal is to provide such infrastructure that data from satellites can be available in almost real-time. In 2020, the company was awarded an incubation grant from the European Space Agency. The team demonstrated a working prototype in 2022 and is entering pilot operations locations in Australia, Canada and Argentina by the end of the year.
