Continuing increase and integration of small space assets as part of existing infrastructure of Internet of Things (IoT) requires small, low power and cost effective solution that enables encrypted high speed communication between deployed satellites, airborne aerial vehicles as well as ground segments for exchange of commands, telemetry and data. Based on high performance integrated RF transceiver and low cost components, Aflare’s proposed and designed solution enables reliable and secure links between network nodes while supporting practical flexibility and efficiency in user configurable data rates, output power levels and power consumption.
