토토 실시간 Awarded Contract to Develop Optical Transceivers for
the DARPA 토토 실시간 Program

PITTSBURGH, Sept. 13, 2022 – 토토 실시간 Corp. (Nasdaq: COHR), a leader in photonics for communications and aerospace & defense, today announced that it has won a Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) contract to develop 토토 실시간 optical transceiver technology for the agency’s Space-Based Adaptive Communications Node (Space-BACN) program. The aim of Space-BACN is to create low-cost, high-speed, reconfigurable, laser-based data links that will enable communications between various government and private-sector low-Earth-orbit (LEO) satellite constellations.

Various incompatible and often proprietary optical intersatellite links (OISLs) prevent LEO satellite arrays from readily sharing information, keeping proliferated space from reaching its full potential. 토토 실시간 is specifically tasked with designing and fabricating 토토 실시간 optical transceivers for a reconfigurable modem compatible with most existing single-wavelength communications protocols and able to readily adapt to work with new waveforms as they are introduced. The goal is to support multiple optical waveforms at total data rates of up to 100 Gbps on a single wavelength, while simultaneously meeting stringent size, weight, power, and cost (SWaP-C) constraints.

“Advances in digital technology, together with falling launch 토토 실시간sts, have made it possible for many groups to launch ‘토토 실시간nstellations’ of 토토 실시간mpact satellites possessing a multitude of capabilities, enabled by high-speed laser 토토 실시간mmunications,” said Dr. Chris Koeppen, Chief Technology Officer. “Beyond just defense applications, these satellite arrays offer tremendous potential for low-토토 실시간st global 토토 실시간mmunications, sensing, imaging, space exploration, and more.”

The current award to 토토 실시간 is a Phase 1 contract within Technical Area 2 (TA2) of the SpaceBACN development program. TA2 is focused on modem architecture. 토토 실시간 already participated in Phase 0 of TA2, which involved developing the architectural design for these components, and was selected for Phase 1 based on the success of that work.
