Revolutionizing Satellite Communications with Ultra-Compact Tech
Ravee Optics has secured a $6M seed round to develop ultra-compact laser communications terminals, which could revolutionize satellite communications by providing smaller, lighter, and more affordable options for smallsat operators. The company’s tech uses meta-optics and silicon wafers to achieve comparable performance to existing terminals but at a significantly reduced size and weight. Ravee Optics plans to conduct ground demos and qualification tests over the next two years, with an in-orbit demonstration scheduled for early 2028. This development was first reported by Payload Space.
