April 5, 2024
SWISSto12, based in Renens, Switzerland, has been named as one of *Via Satellite*’s 10 Hottest Companies. In its sixth year, the list aims to highlight ‘must watch‘ satellite companies based on transformational technology, customer deals, a mix of market share, and overall industry momentum.
SWISSto12 is developing the HummingSat, a new class of commercial GEO Smallsat that incorporates SWISSto12’s additively manufactured radio-frequency products and systems. The HummingSat will enable telecommunications operators to use assets that are lower in unit cost and more agile, whilst ensuring performance and reliability. The first HummingSat, developed in collaboration with the European Space Agency, is set to be launched by Intelsat in 2026.
2023 marked a year of growth for SWISSto12, including signing a contract to supply Inmarsat (Viasat) with three HummingSat satellites and securing in excess of €200 million in customer backorders across its satellite, Radio Frequency components and subsystems business.
Emile de Rijk, CEO of SWISSto12 stated, “We are delighted to receive this recognition from Via Satellite. To be named as one of the 10 Hottest Companies is testament to our talented team, innovative technology and our commitment to better protecting and connecting the world through innovative SatCom solutions.”
