We’re pleased to have aXenic exhibiting alongside us in the Space‑Comm Expo Space North East England pavilion at Stand F8 in London this week.


aXenic is a pioneering space technology company based at the North East Technology Park (NETPark) — the North East’s world-class science and innovation park. Since its spin-out from a NASDAQ-listed components manufacturer in 2015, aXenic has become a leader in the design, development and production of high-performance optical modulators for communications and sensing. These advanced devices are critical for satellite communications and aerospace applications, helping connect satellites in Low Earth Orbit and link them back to Earth with high-speed optical communication.


Optical modulator technology opens up new possibilities in space connectivity, bringing greater bandwidth, reliability and smaller, lighter components to the next generation of satellite systems. aXenic’s work embodies the cutting edge of photonics and communications engineering — making them an exciting example of space-focused innovation emerging from the North East.


We’re proud that aXenic represents the region on a national stage — showcasing how the North East is contributing to the UK’s space ecosystem with world-class tech and expertise. The video above, interviewing the CEO of aXenic, Steve Clements, provides further insight into their work and how they are contributing to the future of satellite communications technology.
