Av-Comm Space and Defence

Incorporated in 1981, Av-Comm is a second-generation family-operated business headquartered in Sydney, Australia. Av-Comm is the longest-standing privately-owned satellite communications company in Australia.

Our mission is to promote the critical role the ground segment plays as part of the Australian space ecosystem. The ground segment is critical to the success of all operations in space but is often overlooked and the risks understated. Our experienced engineers champion the design of the ground segment in parallel with that of the spacecraft to optimise and synchronise the data acquisition process.

Our team of specialists are experts in field engineering and technical services, project and risk management, maintenance and sustainment, and system design and manufacturing. Av-Comm’s 40 year history of building and manufacturing satellite ground stations is a display of the unique grit and ingenuity of our Australian spirit.
