This achievement demonstrates that TESAT terminals comply with the technical specifications and standards issued by SDA and are interoperable with third-party products.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe successful completion of this important test showcases that our OCTs meet the SDA standards and marks a big step for laser communication technology as interoperability is key\u201d, said <strong>Thomas Reinartz, CEO of TESAT<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The OCT is part of TESAT\u2019s laser communication portfolio and is specifically designed to operate in LEO broadband constellations. It is compliant with the SDA standard v3. As of today, 46 OCTs are already in orbit, 12 more terminals were delivered to customers and 180 terminals are currently in production. In view of future growth in the field of optical communication, TESAT has a new manufacturing building under final construction in Merritt Island, Florida, providing 2,200m\u00b2 of additional cleanroom capacity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TESAT\u2019s Optical Communication Terminals successfully passed interoperability testing for the Space Development Agency\u2019s (SDA) Tranche 1 Transport Layer satellites to be built by Lockheed Martin.
