EON wants to move the data superhighway from ocean fiber to space lasers

Endeavor Optical Networks (EON) plans to deploy a constellation of about 20 laser-equipped satellites to provide high-speed data links between continents, targeting throughput of 2.4 terabits per second. The startup aims to serve hyperscalers and AI labs by offering dedicated, reliable connections on underserved or costly routes, overcoming atmospheric challenges with advanced optical technology.
