TeraNet’s laser communication test with OSIRISv1 marks a step towards replacing outdated radio systems with high-speed lasers for space communications in Western Australia. With funding from Australian governments, the network aims to support diverse missions, enhancing data transfer capabilities across multiple sectors.
The TeraNet ground stations use lasers, instead of traditional wireless radio signals, to transfer data between satellites in space and users on Earth. Lasers can potentially transfer data at 1000s of gigabits per second, because lasers operate at much higher frequencies than radio, so much more data can be packed into every second.
