Reuniwatt, who has experienced great international success for ten years by selling its sunshine prediction systems to photovoltaic electricity producers, is interested in another area : The prediction of trouble, In the service of optical telecommunications projects between soil and satellites.
These bonds by laser beam have difficulty keeping their quality by crossing thick cloud layers. By knowing in advance the evolution of the latter, It becomes possible to choose optimal shooting windows between space and land stations. Nicolas Schmutz's business, including the R team&D is based in Saint-Pierre, had been integrated in 2022 into the CO-OP project, whose leader was Airbus Defense and Space and which consisted in testing very high speed bonds between the ground and satellites in geostationary orbit. Eventually, These laser radius telecommunications could replace the underwater cables, exposed to sabotage in a disturbed geopolitical context. In June, Reuniwatt entered the SOLIS consortium (Optical service of secure spatial links), Led by Thales Alenia Space. Solis must design an on -board optical solution in a satellite that will be launched in 2029, to make two stations on the ground communicate between them, In France and Cyprus.
