Constellations of smaller satellites are replacing many of the “exquisite” satellites of the past. Our optical communications terminals (OCTs) enable high bandwidth connections from LEO-LEO and LEO-Ground to LEO-Airborne and LEO-Maritime. Our V’ger OCT product line is a space-based, SDA-compliant multi-Gbps class autonomous lasercom terminal. This LEO link supports the architecture for providing planetary-scale backhaul and network services.

Scotty is the user terminal for LEO satellites accessing Skyloom's network. It enables multi-Gbps data transfer from LEO to on-the-cloud by connecting LEO assets with our GEO node. Satellites in LEO orbit the earth in less than two hours, which means that a satellite is in view of a given point on earth for only a few minutes, severely limiting the opportunity to offload data. Rather than depend on these short windows to communicate directly with ground, our OCTs connect satellites in LEO to our high-capacity, multi-user optical relay satellites in geostationary orbit (GEO). LEO user satellites carrying Scotty OCTs are scheduled to communicate with the Skyloom network without the need of Ground-LEO links.

Uhura is Skyloom’s geostationary optical relay satellite for GEO-LEO and GEO-Ground data transfer, enabling real-time, super low latency data transmission. Designed and built by Skyloom, our small, high-capacity, multi-user optical relay satellites in geostationary orbit perfectly match the speed of Earth’s rotation, enabling always-on connection to our ground station. Because every link in the chain is optical, we break the traditional paradigm of GEO-induced latency.

Bring your data home to Skyloom’s optical ground station (OGS). Our small, versatile OGS can be installed at low-cost at a traditional ground station, directly co-located with existing/planned data centers, or tactically deployed on short notice.
