Transcelestial, founded in 2016 and based in Singapore, is a technology company focused on developing wireless laser communication technology for high-speed global internet distribution. They are building a constellation of small satellites in low Earth orbit with laser networks to beam data across cities and connect continents. Their initial product, Centauri, aims to provide a faster and more cost-effective alternative to fiber optics for telecom and enterprise applications. Transcelestial is partnering with companies like ST Engineering and is supported by the Singapore Office for Space Technology and Industry (OSTIn) to launch inter-satellite laser communication missions.
