NTT and SKY Perfect JSAT establish Space Compass through a joint investment and take on development of an inter-satellite optical communications network aimed at space-based data centers.
Efforts to build space-based data centers are gathering momentum, and optical communications networks are gaining importance for the exchange of large volumes of data in space. NTT and SKY Perfect JSAT established Space Compass through a joint investment and are working to develop infrastructure for space.
Space Compass is expected to develop technologies and infrastructure to enable inter-satellite communications and make the transmission and reception of data between the ground and space more efficient. Current reports focus mainly on explaining the project’s objectives and challenges.
