Tesat and MPB Communications Both companies have achieved a significant milestone that takes LEO to GEO optical data relay to a new level of performance. The companies have successfully demonstrated 100 gigabits per second (Gbps) data transmission at 40 W of optical power over a distance of more than 45,000 km in a laboratory environment. MPB Communications Optical Laboratory in Montreal, Canada.
Until now, the optical link from LEO to GEO was European data relay service (EDRS) achieved data speeds of 1.8 Gbps at 2.2 W using multiple links per day in orbit. At this new performance level, 100 gigabits of data transferred per second is equivalent to approximately 300 hours of music streaming.
TESAT and MPB Communications are 40W (46dBm) Single-mode optical output power at 1536.61 and 1553.33 nm.This is an important step regarding the development of TESAT SCOT135 Optical communication terminal (October) for various multi-orbit connectivity scenarios enabled by MPB Communications. 40W high power optical amplifier. With this new setup, scott135 october Run ultra-fast data rate optical links over 45,000 km and up to 80,000 km from LEO to GEO.
TESAT's product approach allows the SCOT family to be customized to customer needs, such as link distances requiring different output power levels, as demonstrated by our collaboration with MPB Communications.
