24 min • 31 juli 2024

Globally recognized organizations are exploring different advanced communication technologies from RF to laser links. Hear Jean Francois Morizur, Founder and CEO of Cailabs, share insights on the market for laser communications and how lasers complement the role of RF signals in satellite connectivity.

  • Lasers require no spectrum access enhancing their ability global satellite connectivity.
  • Novaspace predicts that launches of satellites with laser communication terminals on board will double year over year.
  • Lasers provide an additional layer of security as they qualify as LPD/LPI (low probability of detection or intercept).
