Silta
A compact geostationary communications satellite that gives one country or operator its own regional coverage across Ku, Ka, X and L bands.
Why it matters
Traditional geostationary satellites are large and expensive, so smaller nations usually rent capacity from foreign operators. A smaller satellite they can own outright gives them control over military and civil communications, which ReOrbit's buyers say they now want.
How the technology works
Silta sits in geostationary orbit, about 36,000 km up, where it stays over one region. It supports Ku, Ka, X and L bands for links to users on land, at sea and in the air, and ReOrbit says it works with most existing ground equipment so buyers are not locked to one vendor.
In March 2026 leasing company SLI ordered two of ReOrbit's small GEO communications satellites in a EUR 150 million deal.
