NantNova delivers four layers of the Optical Communication SatLight™—Multi Gigabit Electronics, Space Photonics, SatLight™ Series, and Application Layers for transport, tracking, navigation, and support.
FPGA and ASIC-based digital systems for space-qualified optical communication. From BER validation and signal integrity testing to SDA 4.0 compliant data processing at 2.5 Gbps — scaling to 200Gbps+. Full LDPC forward error correction with 8–10 dB coding gain across LEO, MEO, and GEO ranges up to 6,000 km.
Explore Multi Gigabit Electronics →Space-qualified photonic components with 200+ Gbps bandwidth. Electro-optic modulators, EDFA/EYDFA optical amplifiers with 3+ years on-orbit heritage, InGaAs APD receivers, 10 km Pulsed Doppler LiDAR, and fiber optic gyroscope IMUs at 20% lower cost vs existing solutions — from various US facilities.
Explore Space Photonics →Modular optical communication terminals and satellite platforms for LEO, MEO, and GEO constellations. From compact 25 mm OCTs with JAXA flight heritage to the gimbal-less DISK satellite with 5 integrated terminals — plus PAT acquisition in under 60 seconds and multi-layer ground station connectivity spanning LEO to GEO.
Explore SatLight™ →Four application layers that transform optical hardware into end-to-end mission capability—SDA 4.0 transport with LDPC FEC, multi-domain custody tracking, GPS-denied navigation via FOG IMU, and ground operations support for LEO–GEO mesh networks.
Explore Applications →NantNova's satellite communication product line — from compact DISK terminals to high-power optical amplifiers.
