About
ALTER Technology’s Photonic department develops space-grade optical transceiver modules for satellite on-board communications. The primary focus is intra-satellite communications using multi-channel optical interconnects operating at 28 to 56 Gb/s per channel. The company is advancing optical communication technologies through the EU-funded SIPHODIAS project, which develops VCSEL-based optical interconnects for next-generation satellite onboard processors, enabling faster and more efficient data handling. These systems are designed to meet space-grade reliability requirements.
