About
Xen-Link is Xenesis’s commercial data-relay service that combines the Xen-Hub and Xen-Node hardware into a full space-to-ground optical link, marketed directly to satellite operators as an alternative to building and operating their own RF ground infrastructure. The service is positioned as a network-as-a-service offering: customers pay for capacity/usage rather than capital expenditure on ground equipment.
Xenesis has quoted throughput figures of roughly 2,600 gigabits (2.6 terabits) of data downlinked in just over four minutes during a single low-Earth-orbit pass.
