AMAZON’S PROJECT KUIPER CONFIRMS ITS SUPER-FAST SATELLITE COMMUNICATION TECH WORKS IN SPACE

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

Amazon's Project Kuiper has successfully validated key technology that will increase throughput and reduce latency for its satellite internet service customers. Optical Inter-Satellite Links use infrared lasers to send data between spacecraft in orbit. The technology allows Kuiper's satellites to connect with many other spacecraft simultaneously to form a mesh network in space capable of moving data 30% faster than terrestrial fiber-optic cables running along an equivalent distance.
