Optical nanosatellites, building blocks of next-generation, free-space AI Data Centers .... Online POET Technologies Company Profiles Report Update

The optical nanosatellite market is expected to come of age within the next ten years. The future portends nanosatellites compute and communicate clusters, called constellations, that are used to form the backbone of an ever expanding, infinity scalable free space data center..

Although there is much work to be done, the groundwork has been laid. Scores of optical nanosatellite networks now are used to image the earth and there are numerous global initiatives that are focused on developing and building out intersatellite optical communications networks

As a specific example of next generation optical nanostatellites, Mitsubishi Corp (TYO: 8058) recently completed successful trial runs on its optical nanosatellite. That nanosatellite offers an optical communication link based on 1.5 micron wavelength, the same wavelength used in today's 200Gbps optical transceivers,. Similar to what Mitsubishi's ecosystem development partner, POET Technologies (NASDAQ: POET) designs and manufacturers.

At a 1.5 micron wavelength, distance between nanosatellite compute nodes can be as far away as 5 kilometers or as close together as nanosatellite navigation control mechanisms permit. Such nanosatellite scalable compute and communicate nodes are extremely light (1 kg and multiples thereof) and extremely small (scalable dimensions that are multiples of 10cmX10cmX10cm).

Building a nanosatellite AI data center based on POET's optical interposer, should be relatively straightforward. This is because the optical interposer can be copackaged with electronic components, photodiodes and lasers, as well as other photonic components, such as optical switches. .
