Shownotes Transcript

On the Constellations Podcast, we’ll discuss how satellite communications are being impacted by the introduction of laser terminals for ground, air, and space. Radio frequency (RF)-based communications have been the constant for transmitting reasonable amounts of data in space, but the movement from analog to digital signals has opened the door for some new methods of data transmission. During this episode, Bulent Altan, CEO of Mynaric, explains why laser terminal technology is one of the more prominent disruptors entering the global communications market, outlines the adoption of laser across the global space network, and shares how its implementation will impact the future of space communications.
