Kepler Communications Inc.

Published purpose

Kepler proposes bringing edge computing to the Kepler Network constellation to optimize the customer experience and increase the addressable and the capturable market of the Kepler Network service (always-on connectivity in space). To develop this capability, Kepler will take a phased approach aligned and complementary to its network development and buildout: Phase 1 – Developing edge compute hardware capable of integration with Kepler’s in space processing architecture. Phase 2 – Integrating and validating an edge computing algorithm with the hardware from Phase 1. Phase 3 – Replacing the Kepler spacecraft’s current Main Processing Command Unit (MPCU) with a higher bandwidth, higher performance core to enable more processing power. High availability and high bandwidth space-to-space communication coupled with edge compute capability will be the backbone of the new space economy. Kepler is uniquely positioned to continue Canadian leadership in deployment of this critical, enabling service to the benefit of Canada and the world.
