Cailabs' Tilba-L10 ground station overcomes atmospheric turbulence to greenlight stable, high-speed laser comms from space.

“Tilba-L10 is a groundbreaking optical communications system that represents a paradigm shift in satellite-ground data exchange,” said Jean-François Morizur, CEO of Cailabs, of the optical ground station project. It was developed in part thanks to a strategic collaboration called KERAUNOS between the French deep tech start-up together with Unseenlabs and the French Defence Innovation Agency (AID).
