Northwood Revolutionizes Ground Station Networks

Northwood introduces a transformative approach to satellite ground communication with its next-generation scalable ground station network. Faced with aging infrastructure, Northwood is addressing the latency and data bottlenecks in satellite data transmission. This innovation supports modern satellite constellations through a distributed, cloud-like network using advanced electronically steerable antennas (ESAs). These antennas facilitate multisatellite support, dynamic maneuvering, rapid deployment, and reduced latency. Northwood's phased arrays are notable for their mass manufacturability, making cutting-edge communication technology accessible beyond niche defense applications. Backed by Andreessen Horowitz, Northwood’s Series A follows a prior seed investment, empowering the company to design, fabricate, and operate a state-of-the-art connectivity platform. With a strong team from SpaceX and Palantir, and co-founders with deep technical expertise, Northwood is committed to industrializing ground infrastructure for the space economy.
