US Space Force awards AnySignal contract for jamming-resistant military satellite communications

AnySignal has been selected by the United States Space Force to deploy its resilient communications network for military satellite communications and the Space Data Network. The contract aims to ensure mission continuity in contested and degraded environments where adversaries use electronic warfare to disrupt allied command and control. AnySignal's Defence platform provides autonomous, decentralised communications architecture that can detect jamming in real time and adapt to maintain uninterrupted communications. The system features waveform agility, advanced threat mitigation through intelligent radios that dynamically adjust links and routing, and zero packet loss through autonomous rerouting. The solution supports the Department of Defence's vision for integrated defence initiatives by providing interference-resistant connectivity across distributed platforms. AnySignal specialises in software-defined network infrastructure for defence and space operations in demanding environments.

AnySignal Raises $24M in Series A Funding

AnySignal raises $24M in Series A funding. AnySignal, a Los Angeles, CA-based provider of a vertically integrated platform for wireless connectivity, sensing, and national security infrastructure, raised $24M in Series A funding. The round was led by Upfront Ventures, with participation from BlueYard Capital, First In Ventures, and other strategic investors. The company intends to use the funds to scale manufacturing across a portfolio of software and hardware products, including flight radios currently in orbit and next-generation systems for ground and airborne use. Led by CEO John Malsbury, AnySignal builds mission-critical space and national security infrastructure. It delivers wireless connectivity, sensing, and security infrastructure through full-stack solutions that combine advanced algorithms, ruggedized hardware, and cloud services. The platform is used by space, defense, and commercial customers. Over the next year, 12 additional spacecraft are scheduled to launch using AnySignal radios and network services across LEO, GEO and lunar missions.

AnySignal raises $24M Series A to scale radio production for space and defense

AnySignal has raised $24 million in a Series A round led by Upfront Ventures, with participation from BlueYard Capital, First In Ventures and others, bringing total funding to $32 million. The company produces radio communication systems for space and defence clients. AnySignal currently has four operational missions in orbit and expects to launch a dozen more in 2026 across low Earth orbit, geostationary orbit and lunar missions. The company provides an end-to-end satellite communications solution, integrating hardware and software to simplify what CEO John Malsbury describes as a fragmented market. The funding will support a move to a larger El Segundo manufacturing facility, scaling production from roughly 100 radios annually to between 1,000 and 2,000. Headcount is expected to grow from under 40 employees to over 100 by year-end 2026.
