About
Golbriak Space offers state-of-the-art optical communication solutions designed for aerospace applications, particularly for distributed satellite missions. These solutions include optical communication terminals and AI-enabled Data Hubs, facilitating fast, safe, and affordable space communications. The technology boasts higher data rates and lower cost-per-bit compared to traditional RF communications, primarily due to the narrower divergence of high-frequency optical/laser communication beams, which results in lower link losses. A key feature is the AI-powered data processing, exchange, and storage capabilities of the Data Hubs, which include sandboxing, virtual mission support, and the ability to run third-party software, including machine learning and deep learning algorithms, directly on the hub. Optical communication also bypasses the need for ITU frequency coordination and associated license fees, offering a more flexible and streamlined ‘plug-and-play’ solution. Furthermore, the high directionality of the laser beams makes the system inherently resistant to cyberattacks such as jamming, spoofing, and tapping, enhancing data security.
