Worldwide network of shared ground stations
Groundcom operates a global network of ground stations with the capability for rapid deployment at new locations worldwide.
Start Scaling with Guaranteed Network Access
Groundcom’s Shared Network eliminates the stress of capacity auctions and scheduling conflicts. Unlike competitors who auction limited slots, we provide a global, API-first infrastructure that is operational within 24 hours. Whether you are managing a single satellite or scaling a constellation, our network offers guaranteed capacity and predictable pricing across VHF, UHF, S, and X-bands.
We build our own rapid-deployment hardware, ensuring we scale as fast as your business does. We bridge the gap between complex orbital mechanics and simple data delivery, giving you total control without the hardware investment.
Unleash Your Constellation with the Agile Ground Network
Operational in Under 24 Hours
Speed is your greatest advantage. Skip the months of hardware lead times and site permits. Our network is ready when you are—integrate via API and start communicating with your assets in less than a day. It’s the fastest path from the drawing board to live orbital data.
The Shared Network Is Ideal If You Are...
University or Research Institution
Operating a CubeSat with limited budget. Get professional-grade ground access without the infrastructure overhead.
Early-Stage Satellite Startup
Validating your payload before committing to owned infrastructure. Low-risk, fast to activate, easy to scale.
Constellation Operators Scaling Fast
Need global coverage across multiple planes today, while your dedicated network is being built out. Bridge the gap with shared access.

Need a dedicated, private network instead?
If you're operating a high-cadence constellation, require sovereign data handling, or need custom RF configurations — a Dedicated Ground Station Network may be the better fit.
Frequent questions
How fast can I start using the network?
Our network is built for rapid deployment. Once integrated with our API, your mission can be operational and ready to communicate with your satellites in under 24 hours.
Do I need to book specific time slots in advance?
While you can schedule passes via our web GUI, it is not necessary to book slots months in advance. Our system is designed for high availability, ensuring you have the capacity you need without the stress of traditional booking bottlenecks.
What frequency bands does the shared network support?
The network currently supports VHF (uplink/downlink), UHF (uplink/downlink), S-band (uplink/downlink), and X-band (downlink). Custom frequency development is also available upon request for specific mission needs.
Is this service suitable for large constellations?
Absolutely. We specialize in constellation support by offering flexible subscriptions and guaranteed time. Because we build our own hardware, we can rapidly deploy additional stations to strategic locations as your constellation grows.
If You've Made It This Far, the Answer Is Yes
You're operating or planning a CubeSat or small satellite mission and you need ground infrastructure that won't become a multi-month project. The Groundcom VHF/UHF line was designed for exactly this profile.
