Satellite Communications (Satcom)

Photonic Communication, Redefined

Real-world satellite communication requires an extensive, secure, robust, and fast communication network. Designing optical wireless communication solutions for these situations can be challenging, as they involve an entirely different set of parameters compared to commercial applications. Above all, these networks must be tested repeatedly for a wide range of conditions before being deployed.

Optiwave offers a cost-effective and powerful solution for satellite communication requirements, including:

  • Designing fast and secure networks with OptiSystem’s transmission layer planning.
  • Testing photonic communication instruments to ensure they perform optimally in the field with OptiInstrument.
  • Creating and testing individual optical fiber communication devices with OptiFDTD, including switches, detectors, and modulators.

FAQs

Do I need to have in-depth satcom knowledge to use simulation tools?

No. Optiwave software, like OptiSystem, can be used for a wide range of optical wireless communication applications and can be used by non-specialists as well. For instance, researchers and students can use our software tools to learn more about photonic communication and satcom through simulations.

How do fiber optics help with satcom?

Satellite communication, or satcom, involves wirelessly transmitting information from Earth to satellites in orbit – or vice versa. Researchers and scientists working with satcom still depend on fiber optic communication to transmit the information they receive from satellites to other nodes on the network.
