Free-Space Optics (FSO) Relay Mesh

⚡ Laser Routing in Space: Operating SRv6 across Free-Space Optics Relay Meshes

Modern aerospace satellite constellations are transitioning away from slow, legacy radio frequencies for inter-satellite communication. They are deploying Free-Space Optics (FSO)—high-power laser links that establish terabit-speed data pathways between satellites in orbit.

❌ The Topological Nightmare: Laser meshes form a highly dynamic, liquid network topology. Links break and re-form continuously as satellites cross orbits, making traditional destination-based routing protocols collapse under the strain of constant recalculations.

🚀 The Aerospace Source Routing Solution: SRv6 Tek Innovations implements customized SRv6 control planes configured specifically for FSO orbital meshes.

Our space-mesh architecture guarantees continuous connectivity:
➡ Pre-Programmed Orbital Trajectories: Path options are calculated on the ground based on predictable satellite tracks and embedded straight into the packet header.
➡ Stateless Laser Forwarding: Satellites route laser-bound packets based entirely on the active segment instructions in the header, bypassing onboard route discovery loops.
➡ Dynamic Re-Pathing: Ground stations update packet headers in real-time to avoid temporary orbital obstructions or laser alignment dropouts.

Run your space networks at the true speed of light using software-defined laser paths.
