- Europe tests laser links as satellite comms outgrow radio
Europe has developed a laser-equipped ground station in northern Greece to support secure and high-capacity satellite communications. The Holomondas Optical Ground Station will receive data from satellites via infrared laser links, providing higher throughput and security compared to traditional radio systems. This technology is expected to play a key role in future satellite constellations.
