Ireland's MBRYONICS and NTT Establish Strategic Partnership to Build 'Space Internet'

en.Wedoany.com Reported - MBRYONICS and NTT have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to establish a strategic partnership, jointly developing and commercializing coherent optical transceivers for space applications.

This collaboration aims to establish a standardized high-speed backbone network for space communications, supporting seamless interoperability between different satellite constellations and operators, driving the development of the "Space Internet."

The foundation of the partnership lies in integrating NTT's advanced coherent digital signal processing (DSP) chips into MBRYONICS' optical communication transceiver platform. MBRYONICS will become the first company to adopt NTT's DSP chips in its transceivers and optical communication terminal (OCT) systems. Both parties believe that combining NTT's telecommunications expertise with MBRYONICS' photonic satellite solutions can meet the growing demand for high-capacity, low-latency connectivity in the orbital economy.

The collaboration focuses on three main objectives: establishing a high-speed standardized backbone network ensuring interoperability between different satellite constellations; globally promoting optical transceivers for operators and orbital transport layers, covering all satellite networks; and achieving seamless integration between terrestrial fiber optics and satellite links, making them function as a unified network.

The two companies plan to collaborate on advancing the global deployment of optical infrastructure to scale the systems needed to realize an interconnected orbital economy.

John Mackey, CEO of MBRYONICS, stated that a technology is only as strong as the network it supports, and the partnership with NTT makes the vision of expanding the "Space Internet" possible. By integrating NTT's DSP capabilities into its coherent photonic platform, the gap between terrestrial fiber optics and satellite networks is being bridged, providing the global infrastructure needed for next-generation satellite networks to support direct-to-device, cloud, and AI services.

Minako Tsumenaga, Senior Vice President of NTT, stated that expanding into space is a key milestone for its technology. Through this collaboration, its advanced DSP will empower satellite networks, enabling high-capacity optical links between satellites and between satellites and ground stations. MBRYONICS' coherent platform will break down barriers to applying its terrestrial capabilities to non-terrestrial networks, perfectly aligning with NTT's C89 concept of building an optical-based space network infrastructure.

MBRYONICS is a deep-tech company offering the only comprehensive optical communication platform to build the Space Internet. Its 25-800G transceiver platform is the only solution compatible with all major optical communication standards, providing the highest throughput and critical interoperability layers for Low Earth Orbit (LEO), Medium Earth Orbit (MEO), and Geostationary Earth Orbit (GEO) constellations. NTT is a global leader in telecommunications and IT services, providing foundational network infrastructure and technological innovation to connect the world, actively developing optical-based space infrastructure under its space business brand, NTT C89.
