📋 Tender Overview
Laser communication promises data rates in the gigabit to terabit range - significantly higher than conventional wireless connections. Europe wants to expand its expertise in this field and install its own satellite networks in the future. Together with the companies TESAT and SPACEOPTIX, researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Optics and Precision Engineering IOF have now developed a transmitting and receiving telescope for satellite-based laser communication, which could form the basis for such a network as a series product.
