SDA-interoperable optical data links across LEO, MEO, and GEO constellations using NantNova's SatLight™ OCT terminals.
The Transport layer delivers SDA-interoperable optical data links across LEO, MEO, and GEO constellations using NantNova's SatLight™ OCT terminals. Supporting both System A (25G/100G 3GPP fronthaul) and System B (2.5G SDA compliant) configurations, the layer handles multi-protocol routing across free-space photonic links spanning satellite-to-satellite, satellite-to-ground, terrestrial, and underwater domains.
NantNova's OCT terminals are engineered to the same interoperability standards as the U.S. Space Force's Proliferated Warfighter Space Architecture (PWSA) Transport Layer — the NEBULA mesh network connecting 154+ Tranche 1 satellites via Optical Inter-Satellite Links (OISLs) spanning up to 6,500 km. Operating on the ITU-T C-band (1530–1565 nm) with a 100 GHz DWDM grid supporting 44 channels and OOK modulation from 312.5 MHz to 2.5 GHz, NantNova terminals achieve multi-vendor interoperability by design.
Addressing a market projected to grow from $7.2B (2024) to $14.5B by 2033, the Transport layer targets the 20,000–80,000 OCTs per year demand with DARPA Space-BACN cost objectives and 100G/200G data rates for dense constellation deployments.
