Our team assesses capabilities and concepts through a tiered fit-for-purpose filter, we call our SME Brokerage Model:

• With a direct ‘fit’ to a current or future Optus Satellite and space systems program, we commence a technical feasibility deep dive
  
  
• Where not a direct fit, but with broader industry application, we facilitate an introduction to our domestic and overseas partners (satellite and earth station manufacturers, control system providers etc)
  
  
• We have active ongoing R&D partnerships with educational institutions and are currently developing industrialisation pathways, including space and cyber
  
  
• We are working with grant bodies to identify and connect stakeholders to channels and sources of funding

Our SME Brokerage Model enables us to onboard AIC capabilities to address vulnerabilities and risks, as well as maximise opportunities.

It offers:

• Supply chain diversity – as a satellite system builder (as opposed to a satellite or equipment manufacturer), we draw on a vast network of vendors, both domestic and international. Our product-agnostic positioning means that we are able to establish a diverse supply chain
