Syrlinks

Founded in June 2011 near Rennes, France, Syrlinks designs and manufactures advanced radio communication and geolocation systems for the space sector. The company offers the broadest portfolio on the market of high-data-rate transmitters, TT&C/ISL transponders, GNSS receivers, and SDR payloads for LEO small satellites ranging from CubeSats to mini-satellites. Their engineering philosophy — 'Let's make RF products: Faster, Smaller, Stronger' — drives a focus on compact, radiation-tolerant, ITAR-free hardware.

Over its history, Syrlinks has delivered more than 2,000 flight models accumulating over 800 years of cumulated on-orbit operational time with a 100% reliability record. Their products have flown on landmark missions including ESA's Rosetta/Philae, Deep Impact, Microscope, Proba-V, Pléiades-Neo, OPS-SAT, HawkEye 360, and OneWeb's megaconstellation, serving customers such as Airbus Defence & Space, Thales Alenia Space, CNES, and ESA in more than 15 countries.

In November 2022, Syrlinks was acquired by Safran Electronics & Defense, becoming part of Safran Data Systems and reinforcing Safran's leadership in Earth-space communications equipment. The company's headquarters remain at Cesson-Sévigné, with an additional engineering office near Toulouse, employing approximately 160 people.
