Space Networks are communication systems that operate between satellites, spacecraft, and ground infrastructure. NEC Labs America investigates AI-enhanced space networks to optimize bandwidth, reduce latency, and improve resilience in space communication. Applications include deep-space missions, Earth observation, and integration with terrestrial fiber sensing. By advancing space networks, NEC extends its applied AI and optical networking expertise into extraterrestrial environments, supporting global science and exploration.

1.2 Tb/s/l Real Time Mode Division Multiplexing Free Space Optical Communication with Commercial 400G Open and Disaggregated Transponders

We experimentally demonstrate real time mode division multiplexing free space optical communication with commercial 400G open and disaggregated transponders. As proof of concept,using HG00, HG10, and HG01 modes, we transmit 1.2 Tb/s/l (3´1l´400Gb/s) error free.
