Our take
Low Earth Orbit satellites pass over Earth once every 90 minutes, passing data and communications through radio waves. Kepler, which was founded by Alumni of the University of Toronto’s aerospace community, responds to the opinion that these small daily intervals are not enough, as the need for the internet outside of Earth is set to become more prevalent.
Kepler has 23 satellites in low-Earth orbit, with plans for a future network of over 100. Its satellite technology sets the company apart, as they are much smaller and cheaper than traditional alternatives. It mainly serves the maritime and aviation industries, as well as governments.
An influx of funding has enabled Kepler to grow, with its latest funding round bringing its total to over $200M. While it planned to launch its optical data relay network in 2024, it's not yet operational, it has, however, successfully tested optical inter-satellite links and plans to deploy an initial fleet of 10 optical satellites, complementing its existing radio frequency system and advancing its goal of global connectivity.
