HAT-Lab s.r.l.
HAT-Lab s.r.l. was funded in 2009 as a INAF (Istituto Nazionale di Astrofisica) spin-off company. At the time of the company foundation mission was to produce and continue the development of the DBBC (Digital Base Band Converter) system, a digital back-end endorsed by the European VLBI network, and adopted as digital processing unit in the radio-telescopes worldwide.
The ‘EVN DBBC Project’, as was named, evolved since then as a very flexible environment with a family of systems and components to accomplish existing and new observation capabilities to observe astronomic, geodetic and space science targets with interferometric or single-dish methods. The newest microwave and digital processing technologies are adopted to update the existing systems around the world and to develop new systems and elements which allows to broaden the observed radio frequency band and increase at still higher data rate the data processing. HAT-Lab produces today a full compatible VGOS backend able to operate with all the worldwide existing VLBI observing modes (EVN, Haystack, Japan)

Callisto-Space
Callisto designs and manufactures high performance LNAs with associated hardware and software. We provide consultancy, engineering services, equipment design and system integration in the field of satellite communications.
Callisto's main office is located near Toulouse, France where we have laboratories equipped with radiofrequency instruments and cryogenic test facilities. Callisto also has engineers working in Germany, Italy and UK. Callisto is a leading supplier for Deep Space communications (e.g. space exploration missions to the planets) and radio astronomy applications (including VLBI - Very Long Baseline Interferometry). Ultra-low noise performance is achieved by cryo-cooling the electronic RF components of the amplifier circuits. This ultra-low noise technology can also be used in main stream satellite applications such as Earth Observation where the benefit is a reduction in the size and costs of ground antennas. Callisto's unique cryogenic designs can also reduce maintenance and running costs compared to traditional cryo-systems.
