About Anywaves

Anywaves is a global leader in Space RF and Payload Subsystem Technologies, founded in April 2017 in Toulouse, France. The company designs, manufactures, and qualifies high-performance space antennas, RF front-ends, software-defined radio (SDR) platforms, and integrated payload electronics for satellite missions across LEO, MEO, GEO, and interplanetary orbits. Products support telecommunications, Earth observation, navigation, scientific exploration, and defense programs, with flight heritage on over 200 missions worldwide.

In 2025, Anywaves merged with Luxembourg-based EmTroniX to form a unified Space RF and Payload Subsystems group, combining Anywaves' flight-proven antenna product lines with EmTroniX's embedded RF electronics and signal-processing expertise. The combined company operates across entities in France, Luxembourg, and the United States, employing more than 110 people, enabling end-to-end RF subsystems from antenna to signal chain.

Anywaves maintains full in-house control of the value chain — from initial design and qualification through series production — at production facilities in Toulouse. The company is EN 9100 certified and has been selected for programs at ESA (Hera mission), Thales Alenia Space, Rocket Lab, and major constellation operators.
