In an era where the demand for higher data rates, enhanced security, and improved efficiency is escalating, FSO Instruments is stepping up to the challenge. Founded in 2023 by VDL Groep and Demcon, the company specializes in developing and marketing advanced optical communication modules rooted in TNO-based technology.

FSO Instruments is on a mission to revolutionize communications by creating systems that deliver greater bandwidth and increased security while reducing power consumption and minimizing licensing complications compared to traditional radio frequency systems. With the support of VDL ETG's high-tech contract manufacturing capabilities, FSO is set to bring this groundbreaking technology to market reliably and at scale.

A highlight of 2023 was the successful launch of Cubecat, an innovative optical terminal that has proven its functionality in flight. Measuring just 10x10x10 cm, this compact device is now available for commercial use through FSO Instruments and its partner, AAC Clyde Space, who recently made its first sales. With Cubecat, users can enjoy seamless communication without the usual licensing headaches and speed limitations.

Stay tuned as FSO Instruments continues to push the boundaries of optical communication technology.
