TeraWave

Type: Optical inter-satellite link network
Developer: Blue Origin
Status: FCC application filed (March 19, 2026)
Initial deployment: 5,000+ satellites by end 2027 (planned)

Overview

TeraWave is Blue Origin's optical (laser) inter-satellite link network, filed simultaneously with Project Sunrise on March 19, 2026. While designed as the communications backbone for Project Sunrise orbital data centers, the architecture suggests potential as an independent communications product.

Technical Specifications

  • Technology: Optical (laser) inter-satellite links
  • Ground communications: Ka-band TT&C
  • Architecture: Mesh network topology
  • Interoperability: Designed to route traffic through ground stations "via TeraWave and other mesh networks"

Strategic Position

TeraWave represents Blue Origin's attempt at vertical integration parallel to SpaceX's Starlink, providing:

  1. Captive communications infrastructure for Project Sunrise ODC constellation
  2. Potential standalone communications product for external customers
  3. Optical ISL architecture (vs. Starlink's RF) for higher bandwidth applications
