Capability profile
Apsis is developing a modular software-defined radio around the JESD204B interface so high-speed converters and mixed-signal transceivers can be selected for different low-Earth-orbit radio configurations.
Modular spaceborne software-defined radio

Reviewed connections
A reconfigurable Canadian space radio could support communications or data relay for northern sensing architectures, but no Arctic deployment or end-to-end system integration is publicly established.
A software-defined radio can move adaptable signal handling onto a satellite payload; the public record does not yet establish onboard analytics or a fielded edge-processing use case.
This is a reviewed public-source assessment. It is not procurement eligibility, endorsement, customer interest, or classified demand.
