Laser Delta
The collaborative platform for the laser satellite communication ecosystem.
Bringing together industry, research and government to advance Europe's secure and sovereign communication capabilities - connecting ground and space.
Webinar: Optical Satellite Communication Networks
31 March, 2026 · 15:30 CEST · Online
ETSI and ESA are co-organising a webinar on the standardisation of free-space optical networks, examining industrial needs and identifying gaps in current standards. The webinar covers state-of-the-art developments in satellite optical communications, including demonstrations of inter-satellite and cross-atmospheric links, and presents the ESTOL specification for interoperability across laser terminals. This is the first in a series bringing together global FSO industry representatives.
