Optical Feeder Links: Unlocking the Next Frontier in Space Communications

By | October 16, 2025

Using optical links for communications between space and Earth sits at the frontier of technology and presents significant challenges. While optical inter-satellite links (ISLs) have surpassed RF ISLs in deployments and applicability, RF remains the primary mode for feeder links connecting satellites to ground stations. Still, interest in optical feeder link (OFL) technologies persists and… Read More »

Orbiting on Demand: How GSaaS is Rewiring the Satellite Industry’s Ground Game

By | October 13, 2025

Strategic interest in Ground Stations as a Service (GSaaS) is rising, driven by two counteracting trends in the satellite industry. The rapid proliferation of low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites is fueling demand for flexible, distributed ground station networks that can support dynamic, high-throughput connectivity. At the same time, financial pressures on geostationary orbit (GEO) operators… Read More »
