TNO Optical SATCOM Day
TNO, Stieltjesweg 1, Delft, The Netherlands • 07 Nov 2019
This conference will bring together technology leaders from the major industry players, research institutes and institutional organisations to discuss recent developments, future challenges, and technology road maps for Optical Satellite communication. Therefore, this event is also a network opportunity! TNO, its partners and invited speakers will show the latest achievements in high-throughput optical ground stations, free-space QKD systems, multi-beam optical terminals and integration of Satcom into 5G.
Optical Communication is considered a major step forward in satellite communication. It offers strong advantages with respect to data rates, data security and communication distance. Nowadays, optical communications systems are starting to become commercially viable. To (further) fulfill its promise various technology challenges in optical communication need to be (faced and) solved.
What to expect
TNO Optical SATCOM Day is focused at the latest scientific and technological developments aimed at progressing optical communication between ground stations, satellites, aircraft and other aerial and naval vehicles.
