Bengaluru-based Astrogate Labs is working on an optical laser-based satellite communication technology that promises many advantages over traditional radio frequency transmission. Optical transmission can potentially offer higher bandwidth connections with lower data rates, while eliminating the need for high spectrum licensing costs. “Modern satellites can generate over 100GB of data every day. If you use […]
