SatixFy Communications has secured new agreements with MDA Space Ltd. (TSE:MDA), totaling over $10 million, aimed at advancing satellite communication capabilities. The deals include a newly issued purchase order valued at approximately $6.7 million for engineering prototypes and space-grade semiconductor components. In addition, an amended Authorization to Proceed (ATP) agreement has been finalized, providing another $3.5 million to fund further engineering work and updating the standing master purchase arrangement between the two companies.

These developments follow a previously disclosed $2 million ATP agreement, marking a notable intensification of the partnership between SatixFy and MDA Space. The expanded collaboration centers around the final stages of chipset development and initiating the delivery of SatixFy's high-performance components essential for cutting-edge satellite communication systems.

Under the scope of the new purchase order, SatixFy will deliver engineering models and specialized space-grade chips. These components will be integrated into MDA Space's satellite platforms for in-house testing and assembly. The chips, along with digital beamforming units, are designed to support high-efficiency and powerful satellite communication functionalities.

"We are very happy with this further expansion of our already strong collaboration with MDA Space," said Nir Barkan, Chief Executive Officer of SatixFy. "We believe that these new agreements further build on our strong foundation and demonstrate the growing market demand for our advanced space-grade chips and digital beamforming technology."

Mr. Barkan added: "These agreements solidify SatixFy's role as a key enabler of next-generation satellite communications. Our solutions are very much at the heart of next-generation advanced satellite networks, supporting both LEO and GEO constellations that will define the future of global connectivity."
