A new name, an active payload in orbit, ground testing with telecom operators—and the first live connectivity demonstration on the horizon. The Constellation Technologies & Operations (CTO) becomes UNIVITY, asserting its ambition to build a shared space infrastructure that enables universal, affordable, and sustainable high-speed, low-latency internet services. Just days after launching its first demonstrator, uniSpark (formerly Early Test), the company has entered the integration phase for its first ground terminals to test its end-to-end solution.
A New Name to Mark a New Phase
Constellation Technologies & Operations is now UNIVITY. This name embodies the founding mission of the startup: to create a global space infrastructure that works in synergy with terrestrial networks to deliver ubiquitous connectivity. In this new paradigm, space becomes the next frontier for telecommunications.
“With UNIVITY, we are moving from promise to proof. A new chapter opens for telecom operators amid a historic convergence of terrestrial and space-based connectivity,” says Charles Delfieux, Founder and CEO of UNIVITY.
uniSpark: The First Demonstrator Is Already in Orbit…
On June 23, UNIVITY successfully launched its first in-orbit technology demonstrator, uniSpark. Its mission: to validate a high-speed, low-latency link using telecom operators’ 5G millimeter wave (5G mmWave) spectrum from a low earth orbit satellite.
Simultaneously, lab tests using a digital twin replicating orbital passes have already confirmed real-world satellite-to-ground link conditions.
…And Ground Terminals for End-to-End Connectivity
Alongside uniSpark, UNIVITY is testing its first two ground components: uniBox: a user terminal for end-customers; and uniGate: a ground gateway station connecting the satellite link to the terrestrial Internet. These systems are undergoing validation of their core modules: Radio Frequency chain, modem, and software stack.
A Strategic and Differentiated Offer for Telecom Operators
UNIVITY sets itself apart with a business model that places telecom operators at the core of the value chain, and a technological combination designed for performance, seamless integration, and cost-efficiency. Its architecture leverages operators’ 5G mmWave spectrum and operates in Very Low Earth Orbit (<375 km) to deliver resilient broadband connectivity.
This approach enables economically viable high-speed internet access, even in rural, remote, or crisis-affected areas, complementing existing fiber and cellular networks without massive infrastructure investments.
About UNIVITY
UNIVITY (formerly Constellation Technologies & Operations) is developing a satellite constellation that enables telecom operators to provide high-speed, low-latency internet access from space, complementing terrestrial networks. Through Very Low Earth Orbit satellites and the innovative use of telecom operators’ 5G spectrum, the company delivers a high-performance, affordable, and sustainable solution to meet the evolving needs of the global connectivity market.
