BridgeSat has selected Solers to provide software to support the BridgeSat optical communications ground network. Solers will design and deliver the ground terminal and ground site data processing and data distribution for BridgeSat’s upcoming pathfinder mission.

Bridgesat is developing an optical communications network that offers secure delivery of data from Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites at faster speeds and lower cost than traditional radio frequency solutions. In addition, BridgeSat will be establishing a worldwide network of stations to downlink customer’s data. Solers will design and develop the high data rate network storage and cloud compatible system and deploy it at BridgeSat’s first ground site later this year.
