EON's Space Laser Network Aims to Replace Undersea Fiber Optics for Global Data Transmission
EON, a startup with $10.75M in seed funding, is developing a space-based laser network to replace undersea fiber optics for high-speed global data transmission, targeting 2.4 terabits per second throughput. The company aims to address atmospheric distortion challenges while competing with other space-based communication projects.
Endeavour Optical Networks is planning to launch the fastest space laser communications system yet built.
