This funding round, announced on January 27, 2025, aims to enhance the company's capabilities in wireless connectivity technologies and facilitate its entry into the satellite communication market.

The CEO of Astrome, Neha Satak, emphasised that this investment aligns with the company's vision to improve global connectivity through innovative solutions for both terrestrial and satellite communications. The funds will be utilised to scale operations, expand product lines, and strengthen their market presence.

Notably, Astrome's flagship product, GigaMesh, is designed to support advanced connectivity options like 5G and 6G by integrating with optical fibre systems.
