WASHINGTON: Sony<\/a> on Thursday said it formed a new company that will build and supply devices that allow small satellites in orbit to communicate with one another via laser beams, dipping into the fast-growing space sector.

Sony Space Communications Corp<\/a>, registered on Wednesday, is meant to take advantage of laser technology<\/a> to avoid a bottleneck of radio frequencies. The devices will work between satellites in space and satellites communicating with ground stations.

The company did not say when it expects to have its first commercial device operating in space, whether it has existing customers lined up or how much money it has invested into the technology to date.

There are roughly 12,000 satellites in orbit, a number that is projected to increase rapidly in the coming years as rocket companies slash the cost of launching things to space, and as firms like
Amazon<\/a> and SpaceX<\/a> build vast networks of low-earth satellites to carry internet communications to all the globe.

\"The amount of data used in orbit is also increasing year by year, but the amount of available radio waves is limited,\" the new company's president, Kyohei Iwamoto, said in a statement.

SpaceX makes its own laser communications devices in-house and first launched them on its Starlink satellites late last year.

Sony said one of its first successful tests occurred in 2020 when it transmitted high-definition image data by laser from the International Space Station to a ground station in Japan.

华盛顿:索尼周四表示,它形成了一个新公司,将构建和供应设备,允许小卫星在轨道上通过激光束相互沟通,动用行业快速增长的空间。

索尼空间通信公司周三,注册,是为了利用激光技术为了避免无线电频率的一个瓶颈。卫星之间的设备将工作空间和卫星与地面站通信。

该公司没有说什么时候,预计它的第一个商业设备操作空间,是否有现有客户排队或多少钱投资到技术到目前为止。

大约有12000颗卫星在轨道上,这一数字预计将在未来几年迅速增加火箭公司削减成本的发射空间,和这样的公司亚马逊SpaceX公司建立庞大的网络近地卫星携带所有全球互联网通信。

“用于轨道的数据量也逐年增加,但可用的无线电波的数量是有限的,“新公司总裁,首席Iwamoto,在一份声明中说。

SpaceX公司使自己的激光通信设备内部和首次推出其去年年底我们的卫星。

索尼表示首次成功的测试之一发生在2020年当它传输高清图像数据通过激光从国际空间站地面站在日本。
