The company unveils its OISL capability and demonstrates AstroLink Micro, its 10 Gbps laser communication terminal, at Bengaluru Space Expo 2026, building on its space-to-ground terminals supplied to ISRO and targeting OISL flight readiness in 2027.

BENGALURU, India, Sept. 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Astrogate Labs, an Indian deep-tech company building Free Space Optical Communication (FSOC) systems for space and defense, is developing India’s first indigenous Optical Inter-Satellite Link (OISL) terminal, targeting flight readiness in 2027.

Astrogate has supplied an indigenously developed satellite-to-ground lasercomm terminal to ISRO, making it the only Indian company to deliver this strategic technology to the national space agency.

The company’s space-to-ground laser communication terminals have reached TRL 8 – complete and qualified for flight. It also completed cross-compatibility testing with the University of Western Australia’s TeraNet mobile optical ground station, confirming interoperability with international ground infrastructure. 

The company has unveiled the OISL capability at Bengaluru Space Expo 2026, taking place from 7-9 September at BIEC, alongside a live demonstration of AstroLink Micro, its 10 Gbps space-to-ground laser communication terminal. Together they mark Astrogate’s extension from satellite-to-ground optical communications to satellite-to-satellite connectivity. 

“Some time back, laser communication from India was a research question. Today it is a product we deliver, with ISRO as a customer. OISL is the harder problem, and it is the one that decides who builds the connectivity layer for future LEO constellations. We are building it, with technology owned end to end in India,” said Nitish K. Singh, Founder & CEO, Astrogate Labs. 

Building the optical layer for future satellite networks 

As satellite constellations generate increasing volumes of data, conventional RF links face growing spectrum and bandwidth constraints. Optical communications use highly directional laser beams to deliver secure, high-bandwidth, low-latency connectivity. Astrogate’s technology targets that bottleneck. 

Astrogate is targeting three markets with the terminal: satellite backhaul, sovereign defence constellations and orbital compute. With applications across commercial and strategic satellite networks, OISL represents a highly specialised and strategically important segment of the optical communications market.

OISL allows satellites to communicate directly with one another, moving data across a constellation before it is routed to Earth. SpaceX has proven the architecture at scale: its 2025 Starlink progress report describes more than 13,000 bidirectional laser links operating as an optical mesh in orbit.

“The core building blocks of our OISL terminal – the Pointing, Acquisition and Tracking (PAT) system, the optical modem, stabilized coarse tracking gimbals and system-level integration – were developed and validated for Astrogate’s space-to-ground terminals, and carry over to inter-satellite links. That inheritance is what puts flight readiness within reach by 2027,” said Jayaraman Yogeshwaran, Co-Founder & CTO, Astrogate Labs.

About Astrogate Labs 

Astrogate Labs designs and manufactures indigenous Free Space Optical Communication terminals for space and other high-performance communication applications, integrating proprietary Pointing, Acquisition and Tracking systems, optical modems and other subsystems developed in-house. Headquartered in Bengaluru, with an office in Durham, England, the company has validated its technology with end-users including ISRO and the University of Western Australia’s TeraNet mobile optical ground station and is extending its portfolio from space-to-ground terminals to Optical Inter-Satellite Links.

New research initiative aims to build the next generation of Physical AI science in India, anchored at IIT Roorkee’s Department of Computer Science & Engineering

PLEASANTON, Calif. and ROORKEE, India, Sept. 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Avathon, a leader in Autonomy for Operations, and the Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee (IIT Roorkee), one of India’s premier institutions of national importance, today announced the launch of the Avathon Physical AI Lab (Avathon PAL), a research initiative dedicated to advancing the science of Physical AI for the industrial economy. The proposed laboratory will be established in the Department of Computer Science & Engineering at IIT Roorkee. The laboratory is envisaged to serve as a centre for collaborative research in Physical AI and to deepen collaboration with leading academic institutions across India and around the world.

The partnership pairs Avathon’s leadership in bringing autonomy to industrial operations with IIT Roorkee’s deep bench of research talent in optimization, machine learning, knowledge representation, and multi-agent systems. Together, the parties intend to build a durable foundation for cutting-edge Physical AI research focused on the most difficult problems in the industrial economy, from supply planning and logistics at scale to knowledge-driven, continuously learning autonomous systems.

“IIT Roorkee shaped how I think about the world and what’s possible within it. Returning to build something lasting here is deeply personal,” said Pervinder Johar, Chief Executive Officer of Avathon and an alumnus of IIT Roorkee. “The talent and rigor at this institution are extraordinary, and the challenges facing the industrial world today are exactly the problems this partnership is built to solve. Physical AI is how we bring autonomy to the industrial economy, and there is no better place to advance that science than where my own journey began.”

Prof. K.K. Pant, Director, IIT Roorkee highlighted that “The proposed Avathon Physical AI Lab marks an important step in strengthening the bridge between cutting-edge research and real-world industrial challenges. Physical AI is emerging as a transformative frontier, bringing together artificial intelligence, autonomous systems and physical operations. At IIT Roorkee, we are committed to fostering such interdisciplinary and industry-driven research that not only advances scientific knowledge but also contributes to India’s technological self-reliance and the vision of a Viksit Bharat 2047. This collaboration with Avathon will provide our researchers and students an opportunity to work on complex, high-impact problems and translate innovation into meaningful industrial applications.”

The Avathon PAL will work in close concert with Avathon’s newly formed AI Center of Excellence (COE) in Bangalore. Together, the lab and the COE are designed to form a bridge between frontier research and real-world deployment, with science emerging from IIT Roorkee feeding directly into solutions that put autonomy into production across mining, energy, manufacturing, logistics, aerospace, and other industrial sectors. The Bangalore COE will anchor Avathon’s growing research and engineering presence in India and serve as the primary industrial counterpart to the lab’s academic work.

“This partnership brings a rare combination of academic freedom and real-world industrial relevance to our research community,” said Prof. Sugata Gangopadhyay, Principal Investigator of the Avathon PAL, Department of Computer Science & Engineering, IIT Roorkee. “Working alongside Avathon, a company at the forefront of bringing Physical AI to industrial operations, gives our researchers both the problems and the ambition worthy of them.”

The Avathon PAL intends to support a range of activities, including sponsored doctoral fellowships, collaborative research across multiple problem areas, student internships and industry exposure at Avathon, and workshops and technical events that connect the initiative to the broader research community. The lab reflects a shared conviction that the next frontier of artificial intelligence lies not in enterprise IT but on the factory floor, in the supply chain, and across critical infrastructure – the physical operations that move and sustain the global economy.
