Imagine a world where data flows instantly between earth and space, providing real-time access to life-saving services and strengthening global security with unbreakable communication lines. This is the future we are building.

Shaping the future

We are shaping the future of communication by industrializing cutting-edge Free Space Optics (FSO) technology, transforming advanced solutions from TNO into market-ready products. Our modular, customizable laser communication terminals solutions connect everything and everyone with internet access, using lasers instead of traditional radio waves.

This technology enables ultra-fast, reliable connections for a variety of applications—from 4K streaming on planes to seamless online conference calls on cruise ships. We are dedicated to making laser satellite communication widely available, focusing on high-performance optical heads that are cost-effective and meet industry standards.

To support rapid scalability, we focus on manufacturing small numbers of high complex products, building a robust supply chain to meet demand and deliver the highest quality to our customers. As pioneers in the field of global communication, FSO Instruments is revitalizing the industrial manufacturing capacity in in the Netherlands and creates opportunities for further technologic developments in the Dutch space-tech industry.
