About Warpspace Inc.
In recent years, the importance of space-derived data, including satellite imaging data, has been increasing from the perspective of disaster prevention and security. In response, there is a growing need for high-capacity, quasi-real-time, and high-security transmission of such data. To respond to this need, Warpspace aims to promote space communication using optical communication methods, as opposed to conventional radio wave communication methods. We are developing software and hardware to support the introduction of optical communication technology, as well as to provide relay network services using this technology.
