About Northwood Space

Northwood Space is an end-to-end ground infrastructure provider building a global, software-defined network of satellite ground stations to create a data highway between Earth and space. The company mass-produces phased-array antenna systems (branded "Portal") and parabolic antennas ("Prism") to offer satellite connectivity as a cloud-like service, replacing traditional ground station models with scalable, rapidly deployable systems. Its customers are satellite operators — particularly in low Earth orbit — who need reliable, high-throughput data transmission without the capital cost of building their own ground networks.
