Scaling up: the market for optical satellite communications
Scaling up: the market for optical satellite communications equipment is set to jump from $650 million in 2024 to around $3 billion by 2030, according to a new forecast by analysts at Yole Group. The largest chunk of that market by far relates to laser communication terminals (LCTs) that feature in satellite networks such as Starlink and Amazon's newly rebranded "Leo" project.
