The company plans a fleet of ~20 satellites capable of 2.4 Tbps throughput, targeting hyperscalers and AI labs on underserved intercontinental routes. A demo satellite with at least 800 Gbps optical downlink is planned for late 2027. EON faces competition from Blue Origin's TeraWave project and must solve atmospheric distortion challenges for reliable laser links. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
