Not long ago, laser communication was experimental, tested through one-off missions and technology demonstrators. But today, Kepler Communications has proved that optical networking in space is no longer theoretical—it’s operational. Several critical shifts have propelled optical communications into reality: “There’s a perception that laser comms are still where they were 10 years ago,” said Stephen […]
Just as fiber optic technology transformed internet communications across the Earth, optical inter-satellite link (OISL) technology enables high-speed comms in space. Kepler Communications is building the critical infrastructure to solve compounding data needs in space with The Kepler Network, an optical data relay constellation designed to be the transport layer for space comms. An overdue […]
As big data, Earth intelligence, and the Internet of Things increasingly shape our society, the appetite for real-time satellite communication has never been greater. The rising demand—coupled with diminishing barriers to entry for satellite operators—has elevated the role of satellites in our everyday lives. Space-based comms are integral to our ability to connect to the […]
