Archangel Lightworks

archangel.works

Archangel Lightworks is a laser communications company building high-volume, secure, wireless technology to create the space-enabled networks of the future. Today, space and terrestrial networks are not well-connected, leading to insecure, insufficient, and vulnerable infrastructure. Nearly 3 billion people are unconnected, and many more are under-connected. Subsea cables, which form the backbone of global network infrastructure, are at risk from climate disaster and bad actors. Links between satellites, which offer an opportunity for resilient connectivity, and the ground are reliant on radio, which is bandwidth constrained, finite, and not secure. Archangel Lightworks was set up to solve the space-ground connectivity problem. Wireless laser communications (Lasercom) technology offers new solutions; however, adoption of the technology has been slow due to availability concerns, lack of interoperability standards, and difficulties associated with Lasercom on the move.
