Satellite Laser Link Tech Scalability and Interoperability are Musts: ABI Research

With the demand for laser-based satellite communications taking off, vendors should make scalability and terminal interoperability priorities, ABI Research blogged Wednesday. They also must try to partner with other ecosystem players to attract governments and commercial operations, it said. Satellite deployments with laser payloads in orbit are expected to grow from slightly more than 4,000 this year to 12,600 by 2027, ABI said.
