On February 5, Denver, CO-based BridgeComm, Inc. announces a partnership with Cailabs, a French deeptech company and global leader in light beam shaping. Their shared intent is to propose joint offerings that will integrate solutions from both enterprises into systems that will significantly improve laser communications between space, airborne and terrestrial OWC solutions.
BridgeComm develops secure optical communications networks that are
faster and more economical by offering a turnkey solution designed to transmit
large volumes of data from space and airborne platforms. This capability will
directly respond to the increasing demands and evolving needs of data
transmission processes.
Cailabs, thanks to its patented Multi-Plane Light Conversion (MPLC)
light beam shaping technology, improves the reliability, range and robustness
of laser communications in turbulent atmospheric environments and when
operating with vibrations (i.e. ISL). Cailabs’ dedicated product range, named
Tilba, is compatible with standard telecommunications systems and can be ported
in airborne environments.
After meeting in 2018, the two companies identified different
collaboration areas aimed at improving optical communication architectures.
“Our products enable next-generation optical communication systems by
reducing the cost of receiver ground stations and by enabling cost-effective
powerful feeder links,” explains Jean-François Morizur, CEO at Cailabs.
“This agreement with BridgeComm is a new confirmation of the market
interest for our solutions and a new milestone on the US market for Cailabs.”
“Partnering with Cailabs aligns with our mission to advance the adoption of optical wireless communications systems,” says BridgeComm CEO Barry Matsumori. “With a commercially competitive solution for transmitting big data at faster speeds—and at a lower cost—than traditional RF systems, we move one step closer to solving the battle for bandwidth.”
