Durham University is working with Viasat to better understand atmospheric turbulence in free-space optical (FSO) communications. The resulting forecasting tool will be used, the organisations say, to optimise Viasat’s ground station design and support operational decision-making such as network switching between ground stations based on atmospheric conditions. Specifically – for the first phases of the …
