About this report
Archangel Lightworks is an Oxford-based startup pioneering laser communication systems that bridge the gap between satellites and terrestrial networks. Its core innovation is a rapidly deployable optical ground station that uses laser links to transfer data with high bandwidth and security.
By replacing traditional radio frequency downlinks with optical “fibre for space,” the company addresses critical vulnerabilities in today’s communications infrastructure. Undersea internet cables can be disrupted by natural disasters or sabotage, and conventional satellite links often suffer from limited bandwidth and interception risks .
