Anysignal Inc

Purpose: Anysignal Is Introducing a Solution to Overcome the Trade-off Between Coverage Area, Revisit Rate, Data Timeliness, and Data Volume in Earth Observation Satellite Systems as Specifically Applied to Radio Occultation Data Collection. This Proposal Involves a Novel Hardware Approach, Employing an Integrated Sensing and Communications (ISAC) Software-defined Radio (SDR) Named Iris. Iris, Housed Aboard Large Satellites Weighing 200KG or More, Aims to Stand Out by Uniquely Combining Communication and Radiofrequency (RF) Sensing Capabilities Into a Single Platform. It Is Proposed That Host Satellites Will Procure Iris for Robust Data Links (space-to-ground, Ground-to-space, and Space-to-space), Whilst Anysignal Concurrently Leverages the Unique Ability of Iris to Collect RF Datasets. While Iris Currently Serves as a Standalone Communications Product for Satellite Customers, Its Potential as an RF Sensing Platform Remains in the Early Stages of R&D. Anticipated Results of This Phase I Effort Is a Systems-level Feasibility Study for Gnss-ro Data Capture Based on an Isac Platform Equipped on Host Satellites. Outputs of This Study Include a Proposed Data Processing Architecture; an Assessment on the Use of Satellite Data Relay to Enable Real-time Transfer; a Modeled Host Satellite Cost Function; an Estimated Number of Daily Soundings; a Comparison of Modeled Gnss-ro Fidelity Metrics Like Signal-to-noise-ratio and Measurement Frequency to Noaa Requirements; and an Assessment of the Viability of the Current Iris Hardware Architecture for Gnss-ro Capture. Noaa Currently Utilizes Gnss-ro Data in Various Weather and Space Weather Products. These Products Will Be Enhanced by Anysignals Isac Platform Which Can Improve Coverage Area, Revisit Rate, Data Timeliness, and Data Volume. Beyond Noaa, This Platform Has Commercial Applications in Weather Forecasting, Climate Research, Precision Agriculture, and Transportation. Near-term Addressable Market Estimated at $200M. While Gnss-ro Is the Initial Focus, Combining RF Sensing Functions Into Communications Hardware Has Profound Spin-out Implications. Markets Like Transportation, Healthcare, Defense, and Agriculture All Stand to Benefit by Combining RF Sensing Functionality Into Communications Hardware. It Is Estimated That the Long-term Market of Anysignals Isac Technology Is in Excess of $300B Across These Verticals.
