Arke Telekom raises €1 million for drone communications technology
Arke Telekom has raised €1 million from venture capital firm ACT Venture Partners to develop its communications technology.
The company makes systems for unmanned aircraft, which can lose contact when signals are jammed or satellite navigation is disrupted.
Its ArkeLink system is designed to keep drones connected in these conditions.
It combines software-defined radio with a network that can reroute communications when a link fails.
Arke Telekom has also joined NATO DIANA, a defence technology accelerator that offers testing facilities and industry connections.
The technology is aimed mainly at defence, but could also be used in disaster response, search and rescue, public safety and critical infrastructure.
The company plans to expand internationally and adapt its products for different kinds of unmanned systems.

What people are saying
Networks must be able to adapt to changing conditions and maintain communications even when individual links are lost. With ArkeLink, we combine jam-resistant communications with a self-organising network architecture. Our goal is to deliver these capabilities in a compact, scalable solution that can be used across different unmanned systems.
