Belgian startup Nxgsat raised $1.4 million in seed funding to build a virtual 5G satellite modem engineered for multi-orbit compatibility and integration across traditionally closed satellite communications infrastructures. The company, led by satellite networking veterans, aims to enable flexible 5G connectivity across GEO/MEO/LEO networks.

Briefing
Seed funding ($1.4M) backs a software-defined, virtual 5G modem that targets multi-orbit interoperability — a technical enabler for operators seeking to unify formerly siloed satellite networks and accelerate non-terrestrial 5G deployments.
The announcement aligns with broader industry moves to integrate terrestrial and satellite 5G and to field multi-orbit, multi-link user terminals, complementing recent work on integrated satellite–terrestrial 5G NTN services and multi-orbit terminal demonstrations: satellite–terrestrial 5G NTN services and multi-orbit terminal integration and trials.
