Optical and Quantum Ground Station
Overview
Honeywell’s Transportable Optical Ground Station (TOGS) is an advanced solution for quantum-secure communications and high-speed optical data transfer. Built to support BB84 QKD protocol and simultaneous 1 Gbps optical links to LEO satellites, TOGS integrates seamlessly with Honeywell’s QKDSat and QEYSSAT missions and SDA-compatible networks. This system provides physically unbreakable cryptographic keys through Honeywell’s EvolutionQ key management platform, safeguarding global commerce from quantum attacks.
Engineered for portability and reliability, TOGS features adaptive optics for optimal performance under atmospheric turbulence, dual narrow-beam transmitters for precise acquisition, and a wide-angle beacon for QEYSSAT compatibility. It offers full duplex operation, variable transmitter power, and ITAR-free design. The ground station operates remotely via a user-friendly GUI, enabling scheduling for satellite overpasses. Tested in harsh conditions, including Canadian winters, TOGS ensures robust, secure operations wherever deployed.
TOGS is the ideal choice for organizations seeking future-proof security and high-speed connectivity in the era of quantum computing and optical communications in an integrated solution
