Fixed optical ground station

A permanent gateway between orbital links and enterprise networks.

A fixed station provides a repeatable ground location for optical contacts. The facility, environmental conditions, terminal and terrestrial backhaul all become part of the service design.

Inside the device

Core components and their roles.

The final configuration is selected around the customer requirement and engineering evidence.

01

Optics & tracking mount

A telescope or optical terminal and mount configured for the intended contacts.

02

Environment & facility

Weather monitoring, enclosure, power, site access and physical protection.

03

Ground modem & local processing

Convert the received signal into the network data path and manage buffering where required.

04

Backhaul & operations

Routing, fiber or other approved transport, telemetry and operational support.

Your requirements

What we scope with your team.

Your existing architecture, operating conditions and growth priorities guide the solution.

Pilot & acceptance

Prove the part that matters to your service.

Begin with a site and backhaul assessment. Test the agreed optical and network interfaces, environmental monitoring and recovery workflow before defining an operational station rollout.

Designed to scale

Expand with a documented operating model.

Evaluate multiple sites as a coordinated ground segment. Define station scheduling, weather-informed path selection, shared monitoring and the capacity of the terrestrial links that serve each station.
