EON aims to bypass fragile undersea fiber by deploying a constellation of satellites using high-bandwidth laser links capable of terabit-per-second throughput between continents. This approach directly addresses the scalability limits of current radio-frequency satellite networks, offering a potential alternative for hyperscalers seeking robust global data transport without relying on difficult-to-repair ocean cables.
EON wants to move the data superhighway from ocean fiber to space lasers
Endeavor Optical Networks is planning to launch the fastest space laser communications system yet built.
As hyperscalers build out data centers around the world, they need to move the bits back and forth, and that often relies on a somewhat brittle network of undersea fiberoptic cables crisscrossing the oceans. Those cables are tricky to access and repair, much less install. But alternatives aren’t easy to find: Radio transmissions don’t have the bandwidth, which rules out most wireless approaches on the ground or in orbit. But now, maybe lasers could do the job. Endeavor Optical Networks, a start-up founded in May and emerging from stealth today with $10.75 million…
