FSO Instruments

FSO, a 50-50 Joint Venture between DEMCON and VDL, develops systems for the fast-growing market for optical communications in and to space. In early 2024, CubeCAT, a terminal using the technology, reached a milestone with a successful "in orbit" validation on satellite NORSAT TD: the world's fastest 1U-sized laser terminal (10x10x10cm) has established regular stable connections with multiple ground stations over the past year. A major step toward ultra-fast, secure data communications via space that FSO is now building on to a complete portfolio of dual-use communications solutions.
