Aalyria has raised $100 million in a Series B round, valuing the California based company at $1.3 billion and bringing its total funding to $135 million.
The round, led by Battery Ventures and J2 Ventures, will fund expansion of Aalyria’s laser terminals and its Spacetime network orchestration platform across space, air, and ground systems.
Aalyria’s core challenge is managing laser based communications links. These optical connections transmit data in tight, high bandwidth beams that are faster and harder to intercept than traditional radio signals. But they require precise line of sight. As satellites orbit, aircraft shift course, or weather moves in, links can weaken or drop.
Spun out of Alphabet, Aalyria built its Spacetime software to act as a real time traffic controller for these moving networks. The platform continuously models where satellites, aircraft, and ground stations are located, predicts how link quality will change, and automatically reroutes traffic to maintain performance. It also manages spectrum and capacity across multiple orbits, helping networks shift bandwidth toward high demand or disrupted areas.
Telesat plans to use Spacetime for its Telesat Lightspeed low Earth orbit constellation, integrating the software into the system’s overall architecture.
Alongside Spacetime, Aalyria is scaling its Tightbeam laser terminals, which establish the optical links themselves. The company says these have been validated across ground and airborne connections, with plans to extend the technology into space to ground and space to space networks.
