Celebration recognizes a major technology milestone and Paramium's vision for transforming satellite communications through global ground infrastructure.
TUCSON, ARIZONA (November 11, 2026) — Paramium Technologies celebrated the ribbon-cutting of its first Magnum™ Antenna in Tucson recently, bringing together an impressive gathering of elected officials, university leadership, aerospace pioneers, business executives, military and space-industry representatives, and community leaders to recognize an important milestone in satellite communications technology.
This antenna is the first of over 200 that will be installed around the world. These antennas will provide connectivity to satellites that are gathering data in low-earth orbit and allow their operators to download that data on earth.
A Gathering of Leaders in Space, Government, and Industry
Celebrations featured distinguished speakers and guests who shared their perspectives on innovation, regional economic development, and the importance of advancing America's position in the rapidly evolving space industry.
Former news anchor and current president of NAI NP Dodge, Kristi Andersen, was the program’s emcee. She shared her excitement as an investor in Paramium and introduced the program’s speakers:
- Mayor Regina Romero, City of Tucson, who recognized the importance of innovation, technology development, and the economic opportunities that aerospace and advanced industries bring to Southern Arizona. She said, “It’s amazing to see what Tucson’s research, engineering, talent, and entrepreneurial spirit can do when we all come together. This also reflects the continued strength of our aerospace and advanced manufacturing sectors and our capacity to innovate.”
- Patrick Murphy, Chief Operating Officer of Tech Parks Arizona, representing the region's commitment to technology commercialization, entrepreneurship, and growing the University of Arizona's innovation economy.
- Taryn Struck, Chief Executive Officer of Space Rising, whose work supports the development and expansion of the space industry.
- Justin Hyatt, Founder and CEO of Paramium Technologies, who shared the vision behind Magnum™ and the company's commitment to developing technology to help people live better. He said, “Use Satellite Data to make your life better, seek knowledge and experiences, try things that you’ll probably fail at the first time but use today as a day to change and to live better”
Magnum™ Antenna's ribbon-cutting itself was a particularly meaningful moment, recognizing the people and partnerships that helped bring the project to this milestone. Vern and Cheryl Powers, along with Dan and Carolyn Neff, joined in the ceremonial ribbon cutting, marking the occasion alongside Paramium leadership and guests.
Innovation Designed for the Future
Paramium’s Magnum™ antennas incorporate several innovative technologies invented to enable the exponential proliferation of commercial satellites. There has been a drastic drop in launch costs over the past decade coupled with significant satellite technology advancements. These together have enabled huge expansion of applications for satellite data. Inadequate availability of radio antennas on the ground has caused a bottleneck significantly decreasing the amount of data that can be received from space. Now, Paramium’s customers can use the Magnum™ network to communicate with their satellites. This Ground Station as a Service (GSaaS) business model allows satellite operators the capability of receiving their data to earth without building and operating their own infrastructure on the ground.
Traditionally, satellite operators have needed to build, own, and maintain dedicated ground stations to communicate with their satellites. This can require significant capital investment, industry proficiency, specialized infrastructure, ongoing maintenance, and geographically distributed facilities.
Paramium envisions a different model.
Through a strategically located network of Magnum™ antennas, satellite operators could purchase access to antenna resources when and where they need them, rather than independently building and maintaining their own ground station.
This concept is comparable to cellular communications. Consumers do not need to own cell towers to access a cellular network. They purchase access provided through shared hardware.
Magnum™ antennas are specifically designed for GSaaS shared infrastructure with the following properties:
- Multi-band capabilities: Designed to accommodate different frequency bands (S, X, Ka, and others) through modular feed and receiver configurations.
- Mass Producible: Antennas are manufactured with patent-pending origami-inspired sheet metal structures that achieve high accuracy at low cost. Paramium manufactures the antennas in house and can build multiple antennas per month as they work towards global coverage.
- Easily deployable: Antenna components can be transported in a shipping container and erected by two people without heavy machinery or specialized tools.
- Future Proof: As the satellite industry advances, Magnum™ antennas are designed to be easily upgraded to cover additional frequency bands. Their extreme precision reflectors and modular feed design allows these antennas to remain at the cutting edge of industry demands.
- Discrete profile: Magnum™ antennas are unique because their primary reflector dish remains stationary and the antenna tracks orbiting satellites by steering signal receivers on multiple robotic arms inside of the dish. This allows antennas to be installed inside buildings or underground without exposing the orbits of the satellites they communicate with.
These unique capabilities will address the growing demand for adaptable, cost-effective, and scalable ground infrastructure as commercial and government satellite constellations continue to expand.
Celebrating the People Behind the Milestone
Paramium Technologies recognizes that bringing an innovative technology from concept to reality requires more than engineering. It requires collaboration, encouragement, investment, expertise, and a community willing to support new ideas.
The company extends its sincere appreciation to the distinguished speakers, elected officials, industry leaders, business partners, guests, and supporters who participated in the celebration. Paramium is grateful to everyone who took the time to attend, share in the milestone, and demonstrate their support for the future of Paramium Technologies.
Looking Toward the Future
As commercial satellite constellations expand and government and defense missions increasingly depend on reliable satellite communications, the need for adaptable, accessible ground infrastructure will continue to grow.
Paramium Technologies is working toward a future in which satellite operators have greater flexibility in how they access antenna resources, without the traditional burden of independently building and maintaining dedicated ground stations.
Magnum™ Antenna and this ribbon-cutting marks an important milestone in that journey.
For Paramium Technologies, the celebration was not simply about introducing an antenna. It was about introducing a new way of thinking about satellite communications and the infrastructure that makes it possible.
The future of satellite communications is not just about putting more satellites into space. It is also about rethinking how we connect to them.
