Based in Paris, Skynopy specializes in B2B telecommunications and networking, focusing on satellite-ground connectivity solutions for Low-Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites. The company addresses the growing demand for reliable and cost-effective ground infrastructure, positioning itself as a "connectivity-as-a-service" provider that allows satellite operators to access scalable and virtualized networks without the need for significant infrastructure investment.
