Quartz

Overview

Ground-station-as-a-service network providing communications, tracking, and telemetry (TT&C) access for satellite operators, built with partner RBC Signals.

Launched August 13, 2026 with the first three 3.7-meter S-band/X-band antennas installed and tested in Bermuda, New Zealand, and Australia, as part of a nine-site global buildout planned by the end of 2026. Later sites are planned to add larger 9-meter L/S/X/Ka-band apertures to support GTO, GEO, and cislunar missions. RBC Signals supports site surveys, antenna procurement, deployment, and hosting, and resells unused capacity to other satellite operators.
