Summary
Communication is the heart of our society. However, 1/3 of the world population still does not have access to the internet, while the appetite for connectivity is growing worldwide. As RF networks are reaching their limits in bandwidth, spectrum and security, new architectures are required to reach all populations and support increase in traffic. Laser communication is the ideal candidate, but faces issues due to beam scrambling when crossing the atmosphere.
CROCUS will develop a high throughput, reliable and embedded laser communication terminal. Based on its unique patented technology, Cailabs has already built laser communication terminal subsystems, demonstrated performance on the ground through strong turbulence, and validated the relevance of its solution with early adopters. We now need to industrialize it into a mature product that will be integrated worldwide inside ground station, drones, airplanes, ships, and any vehicle below the stratosphere.
