Astrome Technologies

Astrome Technologies is a Bengaluru-based deep-tech company founded in 2015 by Neha Satak and Prasad H. L. Bhat that develops next-generation millimeter-wave wireless and satellite communications hardware. Its flagship product, GigaMesh, is an E-band multi-beam wireless backhaul radio with an integrated phased-array antenna for 5G/6G connectivity, and the company also builds satellite communication payloads, inter-satellite links, and a small satellite bus platform. In 2026 it was one of three firms selected by India's IN-SPACe to develop an indigenous small satellite bus platform under the Satellite Bus as a Service initiative.
