Apolink (under corporate name OrbitalNerds, Inc.) is developing an interoperable satellite relay network in LEO that combines RF and optical inter-satellite links. Its architecture is designed to connect satellites and ground stations via multiple orbital rings, enabling continuous, real-time data connectivity around the clock. Founded in 2024 by Onkar Singh Batra and backed by Y Combinator, the company raised $4.3M in seed funding. By eliminating ground-station dead zones, Apolink aims to help satellites stay online continuously, supporting applications ranging from environmental monitoring to disaster response and telecommunications.
