The Space-Based Adaptive Communications Node (Space-BACN) program, which aims to develop a low-cost, reconfigurable optical communications terminal that will translate information between various satellite constellations, has chosen Intel for Phase 1 of the program.  This program is run by the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). Data may be transported everywhere on Earth at the speed of light thanks to Space-BACN satellite terminals, which will allow communication across satellite constellations. In the future, DARPA plans for tens of thousands of satellites from various private sector companies to provide broadband services from low earth orbit (LEO). A satellite "internet" will be developed by Space-BACN in order to provide seamless communication between military, governmental, and commercial/civil satellite constellations. Intel Participates in DARPA's Space-BACN Program to Speed Up Inter-Satellite Communications Intel has started the first phase of the project, during which it will design each of the aforementioned chiplets and collaborate with the other performers to completely describe the interconnections between the system components in each of the other technical fields. A preliminary design assessment will wrap up Phase 1 after its 14-month duration.
