NSR’s Optical Satellite Communications, 4th Edition is the ONLY industry report to analyze the evolving space-based laser communication ecosystem, taking an in-depth assessment of key demand drivers and restraints, for both space-to-space and space-to-ground links types.
With Optical Satellite Communications expected to address many of the key challenges posed by today’s RF communication channels – offering much higher bandwidth, mass savings, and lower antenna sizes with increased security features – NSR’s Optical Satellite Communications, 4th Edition (OSC4) provides a comprehensive evaluation of the market, exploring the role of Optical satellite communications in the Satellite Constellations & Earth Observation downlinks and data relay markets. NSR’s OSC4 qualitatively assesses and identifies the key players within this market, key technologies under development and their applications.
