Why now?

Modern defense operations and telecom networks face pressures current systems can’t hold.

Today’s data-driven missions demand resilient, secure and sovereign communication that is independent from vulnerable networks.

// CHALLENGE_01

Cyber Threats

Fibre is Tappable. RF is Interceptable. Compromised communications risk lives and operational advantage.

// CHALLENGE_02

Limited Spectrum

RF systems are exposed to Jamming and Spectrum Denial. License costs and congestion squeeze every new deployment.

// CHALLENGE_03

Ageing Infrastructure

Europe depends heavily on non‑European network technology. Single points of failure sit under every critical network.

WHAT DOES ARICISION SOLVE?

Communication you can rely on. In any Environment.

Resilient in disrupted environments

Performs consistently under pressure

Rapid deployment — hours, not months

Real‑time data transmission in demanding conditions

Uninterrupted communication between platforms

Communicate freely without spectrum limitations

What does Aircision cover?

Terrestrial Free‑Space Optics, across four sectors.

Defence

Military Operations

Rapidly deployable, undetectable links for forward operations where RF is denied or compromised.

Defence

Ship‑to‑Ship

Line‑of‑sight optical links between vessels without radiating a traceable signature.

Telecom

Backhaul

Plug‑and‑play high‑capacity links where fibre is uneconomic or construction is blocked.

Critical infrastructure

Disaster Recovery

Stand up a resilient high‑throughput network in hours when existing infrastructure is down.

Aircision's Journey

Six years of field‑tested milestones, scaling from 1 km to a 5.7 Tbps world record.

Our tech is validated in real deployments from NATO, military bases, and cross-European testbeds. We push terrestrial FSO from proof-of-concepts to infrastructure grade systems.
