Voyager Technologies acquires optical communication tech to boost defense offerings

DENVER - Voyager Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:VOYG), a $1.71 billion market cap space technology company currently trading near its 52-week low, has acquired BridgeComm’s proprietary technology to accelerate its development of optical communication solutions for defense and commercial markets, the company announced Monday in a press release. According to InvestingPro data, the company maintains a strong liquidity position with more cash than debt on its balance sheet.

The acquisition is expected to compress Voyager’s development timeline for optical communications systems, which are critical components for low-Earth orbit architectures and space networks. While the company’s financial health score is currently rated as weak by InvestingPro, its current ratio of 5.6 indicates strong ability to meet short-term obligations.

"By compressing development into a much shorter timeframe, we’re able to respond to one of the fastest-growing needs in defense and commercial communications," said Dylan Taylor, Chairman and CEO of Voyager Technologies.

The company stated that the newly acquired technology will enable it to develop differentiated systems on a shorter schedule to address requirements for secure, high-throughput, low-latency connectivity. According to the release, the technology supports both Department of Defense missions and commercial applications, including linking aircraft to commercial satellite constellations.

The acquisition builds upon Voyager’s existing capabilities in advanced sensors, AI-enabled edge processing, and on-orbit infrastructure, the company said.

Voyager Technologies is a defense and space technology company listed on the New York Stock Exchange. The financial terms of the acquisition were not disclosed in the announcement. The company’s stock has faced significant pressure, declining nearly 49% over the past six months, though analysts maintain a bullish outlook with price targets ranging from $41 to $52.
