> Another unique feature of the company's satellites doesn't come from their hardware, but their software. Many communications satellites today employ analog radio. But Astranis' satellites have software-defined radio.

That's interesting. I would have assumed analog radios in satellites would have been scrapped sometime in the 90's.
