Positioning

RBC Signals (Redmond, WA, founded ~2015) runs a ground-station aggregation model, federating unused capacity of existing stations worldwide as a pay-per-pass platform rather than building owned sites, with Viasat as an enterprise partner. In August 2026 it was selected as Blue Origin's buildout partner for the new Quartz global ground network (site surveys, antenna procurement, deployment, hosting), with Quartz antennas integrating into RBC's network and unused capacity resold. Revenue, node count, and the Quartz economics are the open questions.
