Aalyria raises $100M at $1.3B to scale Tightbeam laser terminals and Spacetime network orchestration

Aalyria closed a $100 million Series B at a $1.3 billion valuation to accelerate deployment of its Tightbeam optical terminals and Spacetime network-orchestration software. The ex‑Alphabet spinout says the funding will support a laser‑linked mesh to dynamically route data across space, air and ground networks.

Briefing

What Hype is tracking

  • Aalyria’s $100M Series B at a $1.3B valuation funds deployment of Tightbeam laser terminals and Spacetime orchestration—key building blocks for high‑capacity, low‑latency space/air/ground mesh networks.

  • The company’s technology is already in government view: AFRL’s selection and testing of Spacetime for a "network of networks" experiment shows defence interest in software‑defined routing and heterogeneous link integration (Spacetime).

  • The raise comes amid broader optical‑comms ecosystem moves — deals to equip satellites with laser terminals and efforts to develop transportable optical ground stations — underscoring supply‑chain and interoperability challenges Aalyria will need to solve.
