Commcrete has announced a $21 million Series A round led by Greenfield Partners, with participation from Q Fund, Redseed Ventures and additional existing investors, bringing total capital raised to $29 million in just three years. This investment will accelerate Commcrete’s global growth and R&D, meeting rising demand for its field-proven tactical SATCOM. By combining a palm-sized form factor, the lowest SWaP (Size, Weight, and Power) profile, and an unprecedented link budget of up to 32 dB - up to ten times greater than competing systems, Commcrete delivers instant, secure, and mission-ready connectivity for tactical forces worldwide.
Commcrete’s systems enable seamless, secure communication in forests, deserts, urban settings and extreme weather, empowering teams with real-time, mission-critical links where it matters most. Commcrete’s architecture is built to fully leverage GEO L-Band satellites without the need for dedicated heavy infrastructure or precise line-of-sight, ensuring immediate, secure, and energy-efficient multi-channel SATCOM.
The devices' streamlined design allows any operator to deploy instantly with no need for technical training or complex configuration. Activation requires only powering on and connecting - ideal for emergencies or denied-access environments, where reliable communications are most critical.
At the core of the technology is a 150-gram, palm-sized unit, enabling reliable SATCOM-on-the-move for tactical teams. Specialized versions support vehicles, airborne and maritime platforms. The systems deploy instantly, integrating advanced encryption [RA1] and stealth signal profiles that are nearly impossible to detect or intercept (LPI/LPD), even in the most austere and challenging environments. Proven in real-world field deployments and trusted by leading defense, public safety, and government agencies worldwide to maintain critical connectivity for mission-essential operations, even in environments where traditional satellite solutions frequently fail or fall short due to terrain, weather, or lack of line-of-sight to the satellite.
The Stardust device replaces multiple legacy units, supporting simultaneous multi-channel SATCOM for encrypted voice, text, blue-force tracking, and data transfer - all in one compact, low-profile package.[RA2] Commcrete offers the Flipper universal radio-to-SATCOM converter and the flagship Stardust compact SATCOM C4I device, supporting multi-band compatibility, emergency beaconing, and full C4I tactical integration. Already deployed by elite defense, emergency, and public safety units across North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific, Commcrete’s mission-proven platforms are patent-protected and optimized for operators, vehicles, air and sea platforms, with future commercial applications. A third system, the new Bittel, extends Stardust capabilities to vehicles and other platforms, expanding secure communications with use cases that go far beyond what’s typically imagined for tactical satellite systems.
“It’s time SATCOM finally delivered what operators always needed but could never get. Commcrete transformed massive platforms into truly tactical systems built entirely around the user, with uncompromising quality and extreme reliability. Our first real milestone came in 2023, when our systems enabled comms during a natural disaster that had wiped out all communications infrastructure. Since then, we’ve supported extensive missions worldwide - from North America to the Pacific - proving our breakthrough as the only SATCOM that works tactically, anywhere, under any condition,” said Itzik Daniel Michaeli, Co-founder and CEO.
