Apsis Science and Technology is a Montreal RF, embedded-electronics and spacecraft-systems engineering company. It offers engineering team extension and subsystem development. Its CSA-funded JESD204B radio project develops a modular high-speed converter/transceiver platform for low Earth orbit, while the separately described Opal TT&C radio is a pre-market spacecraft command, telemetry and ranging product. Neither planned engineering models nor component heritage establishes complete-radio flight qualification.
Operating context
The funded JESD204B track adopts modular Analog Devices ADC/DAC, mixed-signal transceiver and direct-conversion receiver chipsets at greater than 1 GSPS and frequencies up toV-band. Prototypes and selected customer engineering models are planned outputs of the 2025–2027 agreement; chipset radiation heritage is not a completed-radio qualification result.
Opal is a separate pre-market TT&C design with S-band uplink and X- or Ka-band downlink, up to 5 Mbit/s full duplex and up to 2 W RF output. PolarFire handles modem DSP/fault monitoring; TI MSPM0 running Zephyr handles client API and Radio Shell access. Four 256-bit hardware Firecodes, independent outputs and A/B boot images are recovery mechanisms. NSP/CSP packets, serial or RF console access, external clock/1PPS and configurable external LNA/HPA/antennas create integration dependencies. Preliminary 10–35 V input, 0.5 W receive/12 W TX+RX and-20 to +50 °C figures do not establish whole-unit qualification. Current bus options require a definitive ICD because the public HTML and PDF differ.
Canadian footprint
Apsis’s current business contact page lists 1555 Rue Peel, Suite 750P, Montreal, Quebec H3A1T5, Canada. CSA identifies the Canadian legal recipient in Montreal. The older preliminary datasheet lists 7600 Av Louis Hébert; it is historical document context. The current contact listing does not establish manufacturing capacity or a qualified production facility.
Montreal, Quebec is the published city-level context for Apsis Science and Technology. It does not imply a street address or exact facility location.
Apsis offers Montreal RF/embedded/subsystem engineering and two distinct radio-development routes. The funded JESD204B platform concerns modular converters/transceivers and planned engineering models; Opal concerns preliminary spacecraft command, telemetry and recovery. A useful supplier discussion should obtain the current ICD, complete-radio qualification and accepted model tests, then assign external RF, power/thermal and software integration responsibilities. The CSA contribution and component heritage do not establish flight-qualified customer delivery.

Read technical summary
The CSA-funded Apsis design uses JESD204B to select Analog Devices high-speed ADC/DAC, mixed-signal transceiver and direct-conversion receiver chipsets at greater than 1 GSPS and frequencies up toV-band. Driver support and component radiation-testing heritage support a modular radio-development approach. The 2025–2027 project plans a prototype and selected customer engineering models; it does not establish completed deliveries or whole-radio flight qualification. Opal TT&C is a separately described preliminary product.
Evidence of maturity
CSA-funded R&D with planned prototype and engineering-model outputs in 2025–2027. Unnamed customer interest and component heritage do not establish accepted complete-radio flight qualification.
Commercial availability
Development and engineering-model engagement; confirmed model configuration, current availability and delivery/qualification commitments require Apsis review.

Read technical summary
Opal is Apsis’s pre-market TT&C design with S-band uplink, X- or Ka-band downlink, up to 5 Mbit/s full duplex and up to 2 W RF output. The preliminary architecture combines PolarFire modem DSP/fault monitoring and a Zephyr-based MSPM0 client processor. Four 256-bit hardware Firecodes, A/B boot images, NSP/CSP API packets and Radio Shell serial/RF access support command/recovery integration. External RF modules, antennas and clock/1PPS inputs are configuration dependencies. Whole-unit qualification and a definitive current bus ICD remain unresolved.
Evidence of maturity
Explicitly pre-market/in development, with preliminary specifications. Estimated 20 krad TID, NASA GEVS table entry and component heritage are not complete-unit qualification or certified encryption.
Commercial availability
Apsis invites upcoming-programme discussions. Current configuration, interface ICD, test/qualification evidence, availability and delivery commitments require confirmation.
Core features
S2.025–2.110 GHz uplink; X8.025–8.400 GHz or Ka 25.5–27 GHz downlink
Up to 5 Mbit/s full duplex and up to 2 W RF output
Apsis has a statedAugust 2025–July 2027 CSA R&D agreement for a JESD204B radio prototype and selected customer engineering models. Its current undated Opal page separately labels the TT&C radio pre-market and in development; no independently dated accepted radio-delivery or qualification milestone was recovered.
CSA lists a CAD 225, 000 non-repayable STDP contribution for JESD204B Software Defined Radio for Low Earth Orbit, agreement 25STDPZ02, runningAugust 1 2025–July 30 2027. The disclosure and programme table describe the same award. This is R&D support, not an equity round, product-sale revenue or verified disbursement. The programme’s eligible-cost percentage does not establish Apsis’s actual total project budget.

Questions for a first conversation
01
Which hardware/software configuration, current bus ICD and qualification report apply to the radio proposed for our spacecraft?
Opal remains preliminary; published bus specifications differ and component heritage does not qualify the whole radio.
02
Which deliverable is the funded JESD204B engineering model, and what accepted customer test evidence is available?
The CSA project describes planned models and unnamed interest; the distinct Opal design is not identified as that funded prototype.
03
What antennas, LNA/HPA modules, power/thermal envelope, timing and software integration responsibilities belong to Apsis versus the spacecraft team?
The TT&C design has external RF and timing dependencies plus NSP/CSP/API and Radio Shell interfaces.
