BridgeComm, Inc.

BridgeComm, Inc. (formerly BridgeSat) is a Lafayette, Colorado-based developer of free-space optical (FSO) laser communications infrastructure for government, space, and enterprise customers. The company's optical communications architecture enables high-bandwidth, low-probability-of-intercept data links across ground-to-space, satellite-to-air, air-to-air, and inter-satellite domains — forming the backbone of an all-domain optical mesh network.

BridgeComm's product portfolio centers on ruggedized Optical Ground Terminals (OGT) and Optical Ground Stations (OGS) with integrated Space Domain Awareness (SDA/SSA) capabilities. The company has demonstrated 100 Gbps point-to-point telecom links, delivered spacecraft Data Terminal Equipment to the ISS (2017), and holds US government programs of record for optical ground stations. Its SDA Phase 2 contract was awarded in 2021 and it has field-demonstrated systems with the US Navy.

BridgeComm works with the DoD, National Reconnaissance Office, US Space Force, and commercial satellite operators. Key products include the GimbleEX3 gimbal-mounted optical terminal, supporting 2.5 Gbps to 1 Tbps throughput across LEO, MEO, and GEO orbits. Investors include Boeing, Allied Minds, and AE Industrial Partners.
