Enabling unity of human and machine

DELTA CYGNI LABS

Delta Cygni Labs is the creator of XRTC® high-resilience API acceleration solution for ultra low-latency and firewall-friendly data transmission, POINTR® augmented reality remote collaboration application, and AstroVAR astronaut information support system.

With technology roots dating back to 2008 from VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland, Thales Alenia Space Italy, and the European Space Agency, Delta Cygni Labs has established itself as a leader in mission-critical communication technologies.

XRTC provides unprecedented reliability for communication in remote operations, autonomous and semi-autonomous machines, IoT, and real-time AI, fully compatible with classic TCP/HTTPS. With its core advantage in eliminating TCP head-of-line blocking, XRTC outperforms all other TCP-based solutions by up to 30 times. Unlike UDP-based solutions, XRTC is natively enterprise firewall and proxy compatible, making it easy to adopt without the need for changes in API business logic. XRTC offers unparalleled resiliency for field operations.

BLACK SWAN AND THE STAR MAP

Delta Cygni is a triple star in the constellation of Cygnus – Latin name for swan. This third magnitude star is placed in the northern wing of swan and projected on the Orion-Cygnus arm of the Milky Way, our galaxy, where the Solar system is located. Due to precession – the periodic movement of Earth’s rotation axis – Delta Cygni will become the new Polar star near year 11250 AD.

"Labs" in the name signifies the strong research foundation of the company. Our logo – the Delta in the shape of rising black swan – refers to the unexpected events having a major impact on the history of humanity by the Black Swan theory.

Delta Cygni Labs is solving technical human-to-human communication problems for industry, by applying scientific results and fundamental concepts of Cybernetics, Human-Machine-Systems and Augmented Reality.
