The Archangel Lightworks team are developing a fundamentally new class of laser communication infrastructure, built specifically to unlock step-changes in the bandwidth, security and coverage of data that moves between Space and Earth. Sam Harman of Oxford Science Enterprises, says “With the uses and volume of Space data continuing to multiply, insufficient bandwidth, security and coverage of Space-Ground connectivity are now major challenges. Please get in touch with us if you’re interested in working towards a more connected future!”

Richard Johanson, CEO of Archangel Lightworks, says “The team and I are thrilled to be making this announcement and could not be more excited to partner with Oxford Science Enterprises as we work to reimagine space connectivity! This investment round will allow us to grow our team, demonstrate our technology, and engage additional partners looking to solve today’s biggest connectivity challenges. We are extremely delighted to announce that we have successfully closed £4 million of Seed capital in a round led by Oxford Science Enterprises (OSE), with participation from Silicon Roundabout Ventures! The £4 million raise will expand the team and fund a series of space-ground demonstrations of the TERRA-M, a miniature optical ground station that adds extra network capacity to deliver resilient and secure wireless connectivity where it is most needed.
