§ Private Profile · Livermore, CA, USA
Networking technology company providing Spacetime network orchestration software and Tightbeam optical communication for multi-domain networks.
Founded in 2022 by CEO Chris Taylor as an independent spinout from Alphabet, Aalyria is based in Livermore, California, and develops advanced network orchestration software and optical communication technologies. The company provides Spacetime, a managed platform for real-time routing across multi-domain networks, alongside Tightbeam, a high-bandwidth free-space optical system designed to transmit data through complex atmospheric environments. Aalyria serves commercial satellite operators, telecommunications providers, and government defense organizations, securing strategic integration partnerships with major aerospace entities like Intelsat and Airbus. Operating through commercial hardware sales and software licensing, the enterprise secured an initial $8.7 million agreement from the United States Defense Innovation Unit upon its public launch. The organization commercializes nearly a decade of intellectual property originally developed under Alphabet's Project Loon and Project Taara to enable resilient, high-throughput networks in motion for its customers.

Aalyria develops advanced networking solutions designed to operate resilient, high-throughput communication across dynamic environments. Its core offerings include Spacetime, a software platform that intelligently orchestrates networks in motion, and Tightbeam, hardware capable of ultra-high-speed free space optical communication. Spacetime dynamically manages network structure and routing, adapting to constant changes, while Tightbeam provides up to 100 Gbps laser communications for secure and rapid data transfer over long distances between ground and airborne assets.
The company emerged as a spinout from Google in 2022, leveraging years of foundational research and development, including technologies initially conceived for Project Loon. This team of former Google R&D employees recognized the critical need for robust, adaptive networking to connect assets in motion, translating their deep expertise into commercial and government-grade solutions. This strategic spinout allowed for the dedicated pursuit of these complex communication challenges.
Aalyria serves a diverse client base, including commercial satellite operators, earth observation companies, telecommunication providers building 5G and 6G non-terrestrial networks, and various defense and government entities. The company's vision is to facilitate seamless, secure, and ubiquitous connectivity across land, sea, air, and space, addressing the increasing global demand for reliable data exchange in ever more mobile and complex operational landscapes.
Aalyria has raised $100.0M across 1 funding round. Most recently, it raised $100.0M Series B in February 2026.
