The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tno.nl\/en\/\">Netherlands Organization for Applied Scientific Research<\/a> (TNO) and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.airbusdefenceandspacenetherlands.nl\/\">Airbus Defence and Space Netherlands<\/a> (Airbus DS NL) are jointly developing a safe solution for the rapidly accelerating data traffic: <strong>TOmCAT<\/strong> technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"block-210fc1e8-df10-4e57-bf2d-937897134c7c\">TOmCAT<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-1a7b7117-4c00-4212-9441-7f441e9667f0\">TNO and Airbus DS NL want to launch their newly developed technology &#8216;<em>Terabit Optical Communication Adaptive Terminal (TOmCAT)<\/em>&#8216; onto the market. This technology enables laser communication between satellites and stations on earth. The rapid transfer rates between these stations guarantee secure transmission of data at much higher speeds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"block-0df0bca2-160d-4b0e-b0ad-77788478e3e2\">Collaboration<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-b2e081e6-938e-44b2-8375-7d45120281ea\">The technology is still under development. TNO and Airbus DS NL recently jointly signed a <em>Memorandum of Understanding<\/em> (MoU). This confirmed the companies&#8217; ambition to develop the technology further. The feasibility and effectiveness of the technology will be verified within the project. This lays the foundation for the design of future <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Ground_station\">ground stations<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-a9e5e5ee-12d8-4154-809e-201e669f03b6\">Airbus DS NL is going to build the ground stations. The telecommunications industry will then be able to make use of this technology that assures a high data transfer capacity. TNO and Airbus DS NL will continue to work together until the product is brought to market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"block-4a2721fd-4089-49c7-89f7-0d774ea81928\">The Netherlands at the forefront<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-ba168e5b-170c-45a2-9580-75068fc0b218\">According to TNO and Airbus DS NL, TOmCAT consolidates the Dutch leading position in the optical communication technology field. Erik Fritz, program manager at TNO: &#8220;By making this complex technology commercially available, the Netherlands will stay at the forefront of the next generation of communication.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-a20011ad-4de9-43e9-835e-2511383736a8\">According to Fritz, the Netherlands is one of the few countries currently working on this technology. &#8220;We are particularly proud to be able to share our know-how and applied innovation with another Dutch player.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-d6294e91-6113-4f15-a157-1b2e3ca73fe4\"><strong>Also interesting:<br><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/innovationorigins.com\/dossier\/wireless-communication\/\">Dossier Wireless Communication<\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/innovationorigins.com\/6g-in-2030-ring-ring-the-grocery-drone-is-at-your-doorstep\/\">6G in 2030: \u2018Ring ring, the grocery drone is at your doorstep\u2019<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Add titleTOmCAT technology: a solution for ever-increasing network traffic Whether it concerns self-driving cars or the sheer volume of films on social media, data usage is continuing to rise and existing connections no longer suffice.
