The company "Bureau 1440", which is part of "ICS Holding", is working on the creation of a laser communication terminal. This technology could replace radio communication in space in the future due to its high speed and energy savings.
The company "Bureau 1440", which is part of "ICS Holding", which is engaged in the creation of a low-orbit satellite group, is looking for employees for a project to develop a laser communication terminal, according to a job description on the portal hh.ru. A project manager and administrator, a leading software architect and a systems engineer are needed. The vacancy for the project manager states that the project "will be an integral part of the space system".
The information that "Bureau 1440" has a laser communication project was confirmed by Sergey Alekseev, a leading specialist in space optics at SR Space, a member of the expert committee of the Ministry of Digital Development "Modern and Prospective Mobile Communication Networks". According to him, "Bureau 1440" began developing this technology two years ago from scratch.
What is laser communication
This is a technology for argentina whatsapp number database transmitting and receiving signals that uses infrared light instead of radio waves and has a number of advantages over radio communication. Due to the high concentration of energy, it allows data to be transmitted over long distances and at high speed, for example between satellites, as well as with the Earth. It is assumed that the technology can replace radio communication in the future. In the world, experiments with satellite laser communication are carried out by NASA and its analogues in China and the EU, among private companies - SpaceX, Amazon, etc.
Laser communication terminals are optical-mechanical modules (“boxes”) that are installed in different parts of the spacecraft, and with their help lasers are directed, Sergei Alekseev explained to RBC.
Why does Bureau 1440 need laser terminals?
"Bureau 1440" is working on creating a satellite constellation to provide broadband Internet services with global coverage from 2027. It is expected that the constellation will consist of more than 900 satellites. In 2023, three Russian test communications spacecraft "Rassvet-1" were launched into orbit. In addition to Russia, the company plans to provide services in more than 70 countries. The total amount of necessary investment, as well as the sources of funding, were not named.
At the end of 2021, it became known that VTB would invest 2 billion rubles in the project and receive 15% in it. Another 75%, as expected, would belong to MegaFon, the remaining 10% would belong to the team - Alexey Shelobkov, Artem Ikoev and Sergey Stolyarov. After USM holding closed the deal to sell ICS Holding to Anton Cherepennikov in June 2022, as part of the division of assets, the project was transferred to ICS Holding and was renamed in mid-2022 (previously called MegaFon 1440). Currently, information about the co-owners of Bureau 1440 is hidden.
