Skyloom is a U.S.-based telecommunications company focused on developing and deploying a space-based optical data transport network. They aim to provide low-latency, high-capacity data relay services, especially for LEO satellite constellations, utilizing geostationary relay nodes. Their key products include optical communication terminals (OCTs) and geostationary optical relay satellites like Uhura. Skyloom partners with organizations like Space Compass, Axiom Space, and York Space Systems to advance optical communication technology and expand its network capabilities.
