QuadSAT secures million$ in funding for ops scale up + product range expansion

March 19, 2023

QuadSAT ApS has secured €9 million in funding — the Danish company makes it possible to accurately measure and calibrate antennas and satellite systems anywhere in the world.

The funding round was led by IQ capital and supported by current investors, including the world’s leading space tech fund, Seraphim Space, Danish state Vækstfonden, and angel investors Torben Frigaard Rasmussen and Helge Munk.

This funding round is the result of a significant uptick in commercial demand from major satellite operators, antenna manufacturers and service companies in the satellite industry. With the new funding, QuadSAT aims to scale up its operations, expand its product range and bring its technology to more customers in the market.

QuadSAT’s unique testing solution provides a cost-effective, scalable and precise way to test antennas and satellite systems in operation, and anywhere in the world. This approach to testing has already attracted the attention of the satellite industry, helping QuadSAT to cement its position as a major player in the market. With the new funding, QuadSAT will be looking to recruit top talent, to expand its operations, and bring its technology to a wider customer base.

“This is a significant milestone for our company, and we are excited to be able to expand our global reach. With this funding, we will be able to optimize the use of global radio spectrum by providing our customers unparalleled testing capabilities, ultimately ensuring better performance of satellite networks.”

Joakim Espeland, CEO of QuadSAT

“The SATCOMs industry is growing at a fantastic rate. In the not too distant future, almost everything will be connected via satellite. With that growth will come an urgent need to ensure efficient RF connectivity and spectrum use. QuadSAT’s technology is already making an impact with a number of leading players. This company has massive potential for the future, and we are excited to be a part of the next stage of growth.”

Daniel Carew, Investment Principle from IQ Capital

“Having worked with QuadSAT for the past few years, it is apparent that the technology has real potential, which this latest round will help the company fulfill. At the same time, the team behind QuadSAT is extremely passionate and driven, which has been instrumental in getting the solution in front of leading industry players. I look forward to continuing to be a part of QuadSAT’s success.”

Torben Frigaard Rasmussen, Chairman of the Board, QuadSAT
