Mynaric Advances Laser Communications with Product Deliveries and Technology Milestones
MUNICH, DE / / June 5, 2025 / Mynaric, a leading provider of industrialized, cost-effective, and scalable laser communications products, today announced significant customer deliveries of its CONDOR Mk3 optical communications terminals and major progress in the technical development of the next-generation CONDOR Mk3.1 terminal. "Mynaric continues to execute on its commitments and advance the market for space-based optical communications. As of today, we have delivered more than 100 CONDOR Mk3 terminals to our customers, including the first complete launch set to a prime customer for Tranche 1 of the Space Development Agency's (SDA) Proliferated Warfighter Space Architecture program," said Joachim Horwath, Chief Technology Officer of Mynaric. "In parallel, we are advancing the design of the space-qualified CONDOR Mk3.1 terminal, which is slated to support the SDA's Tranche 2 program, as well as a range of commercial applications." Building on the flight-ready architecture of the Mk3, the CONDOR Mk3.1 terminal is being developed with a focus on higher data rates and enhanced efficiency. Targeting up to 100 Gbps, it offers improved performance while reducing weight and power consumption - making it ideally suited for both government and commercial satellite constellations. "At Mynaric, we work hand-in-hand with our customers to shape the future of laser communications," said Tim Deaver, Mynaric's Vice President of Global Sales & Solutions. "Our next-generation products, like the CONDOR Mk3.1, are a direct result of ongoing collaboration with industry partners and a deep understanding of evolving mission requirements. By listening closely to customer feedback and anticipating market needs, we're able to deliver solutions that are not only technically advanced but also operationally relevant." This customer-driven approach is supported by a scalable production line that continues to expand. In parallel with these deliveries, Mynaric has ramped up volume production of the CONDOR Mk3 terminal, manufacturing more than 150 optical heads to date. While shipments were delayed in January 2025 due to supplier-related shortages of key components, the company rebounded strongly in the first half of the year, achieving triple-digit yields - underscoring its ability to scale industrialized manufacturing for space-based laser communications. "With the court confirming our restructuring plan and the StaRUG process entering its final stage, Mynaric is now focused on accelerating the deployment of next-generation optical communications technology, enhancing profitability, and ensuring long-term financial stability," said Andreas Reif, Chief Restructuring Officer of Mynaric. About Mynaric Mynaric (FRA:M0YN)(OTC PINK:MYNAY) is leading the industrial revolution of laser communications by producing optical communications terminals for air, space and mobile applications. Laser communication networks provide connectivity from the sky, allowing for ultra-high data rates and secure, long-distance data transmission between moving objects for wireless terrestrial, mobility, airborne- and space-based applications. The company is headquartered in Munich, Germany, with additional operations in Los Angeles, California.

My favourite Ruark Bluetooth speakers just got a huge upgrade
If you'd asked me yesterday what the best Bluetooth bookshelf speakers were, I'd have pointed straight at my MR1 Mk2 setup without blinking. In proper money-where-mouth-is fashion, I've got a set in front of me as I type (which replaced an amp/speaker combo) and another hooked up to the living room telly. But today? Ruark's shattered my pointy certainty by unveiling the shiny new Ruark MR1 Mk3, which will set you back $579/£399 when it rocks up in early July. At a glance, this revamped Ruark system looks reassuringly familiar, with the same friendly vibe and compact footprint. Rather than screaming LOOK AT ME, the Mk3 is all subtle, soft curves that should fit into any office or living room. But there have been some changes. The grilles are now slate grey and charcoal ousts soft grey as a finish, joining walnut. Bevelled edges reduce the design's boxiness. And the speakers have grown a bit, although that's hardly noticeable unless you moonlight as a ruler. (Oh, fine: they're 5mm wider and 10mm deeper, making them H185mm x W135mm x D155mm.) That extra space isn't for show, note – Ruark's used it to pack in some serious upgrades. Amp it up Crack open a Ruark MR1 Mk3 speaker and, well, you'd probably invalidate your warranty. But you would be able to gawp at the Class D amp tech adopted from Ruark's R410, paired with new NS+ bass/mid units and custom 20mm silk dome tweeters. The result, according to Ruark, is more power, more controlled bass, a lucid midrange, exceptional detail, and an audio experience that defies the size of these speakers. But then, Ruark would say that. Still, as someone who, remember, owns two pairs of the Mk2s, I can confirm they punch well above their weight. So unless Ruark's forgotten how to make speakers, you can expect these will be great as well. And Ruark's savvy is surely confirmed when you flip the Mk3 around and spot the connectivity options. There's combined line-in/optical, a dedicated turntable input for vinyl fetishists, subwoofer output (for which Ruark, natch, recommends its own RS1), and a very welcome new USB audio input. Hate cables? AptX HD Bluetooth in the Mk3 handles high-quality, low-latency wireless audio and lets you adjust the volume using your TV remote. So no more fiddling with the tiny zapper that came with the Mk2 and was so small it could conceivably be lost down the back of an atom. Just one more reason, then, to hover over that buy button come July.
