Astrome Technologies

High-capacity SDN-based wireless backhaul

Overview

Astrome Technologies specializes in wireless telecom solutions to ease network congestion and improve 5G backhaul for network operators. Its flagship product, GigaMesh, delivers up to 80 Gbps per cell tower and enables rapid SDN deployment without fiber infrastructure. The system uses remotely reconfigurable software-defined capacity, electronically steered links for quick alignment, and fine pencil beams with encryption options for secure, reliable connections. Compared with competitors, Astrome delivers much higher per-tower capacity, avoids expensive fiber by using wireless links, and reduces operational costs through remote, software-driven reconfiguration and faster deployment. The company's goal is to help telecom operators expand network capacity and reach—especially in urban and rural areas—by providing scalable, high-capacity, cost-effective wireless backhaul solutions that alleviate congestion.

Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • Apollo-led $10 million funding in 2026 extends runway for sales and launches.
  • DoT kept E-band backhaul administratively assigned in June 2026, easing operator adoption.
  • Astrome's 2026 hiring posts show active expansion across RF, sales, and satellite teams.

What critics are saying

  • SatixFy already sold beamformer chips to Astrome's product path, compressing differentiation.
  • Astrome's $0.6M FY26 revenue versus $14M raised signals weak commercialization.
  • IN-SPACe's Rs 5 crore grant funds prototypes, not scaled production, through 2026.

What makes Astrome Technologies unique

  • GigaMesh uses multi-beam E-band radios for one-to-many 5G backhaul.
  • IN-SPACe selected Astrome in February 2026 for indigenous satellite bus development.
  • Astrome blends telecom backhaul with defense and satellite communications in one platform.
