Transcelestial
Transcelestial has mass-produced a solution for superfast global Internet distribution. Leveraging its proprietary wireless laser communication technology, Transcelestial is creating a wireless distribution network between buildings, traditional cell towers, street-level poles and other physical infrastructure.
Access to fast and affordable internet is often crucial. However, relying on the deployment of new fiber cables can be expensive and slow, especially when installing new fiber infrastructure in difficult terrain.
Transcelestial delivers high-speed internet connectivity via laser beam, eliminating the need for underground cables or radio frequency-based devices. Its technology can connect buildings point-to-point in less than a day. Not only are these laser links easy to set up, but they can also withstand harsh weather conditions and high wind speeds.
