Hospitals can't go offline. Not for a day. Not even an hour.
So when Asian Hospital and Medical Center in the Philippines needed a stronger backup link between two buildings, the obvious answer was "more fiber." Except it's one of the busiest hospitals in the country, and trenching through an active campus meant weeks of permits, civil works, and halted operations. A 1,000 ft fiber trench can run $100K+ once you factor in permits and surface restoration.
So together with our local partner EBDI Philippines, we deployed a CENTAURI 10G laser link between the two buildings. Fiber-grade connectivity, 99.99% weekly uptime, now a permanent part of the hospital's continuity infrastructure.
If you're dealing with a campus, hospital, port, or dense urban site where civil works aren't practical, that's exactly what CENTAURI is built for.
P.S. If you're an ISP, network operator, or campus connectivity team running into one of those five situations, DM us.
Worth a 20-minute conversation with our team, Mark Harnen or Travis Brown.
Fiber is the right answer most of the time. It's the wrong answer when:
- The quote comes back at $100K+ for a 1,000-foot run
- The carrier timeline is 12 to 18 months and you need it in 30 days
- The right-of-way is owned by someone who won't let you trench
- You're replacing a leased dark fibre line that just doubled in price
Most people hear this and think: edge case.
But here's what this actually is. The failure mode for enterprise connectivity isn't capacity. It's infrastructure.
One blocked permit, one $100K quote, one spectrum conflict, and a project that should take days stretches into quarters.
Laser communications removes that friction. CENTAURI delivers up to 25 Gbps full-duplex, line-of-sight, live in days. No trenching. No spectrum license. No carrier dependency.
BEAD funds are flowing.
AI data centers need capacity.
Customers needed service last quarter. But fiber builds still take 12 to 18 months.

Our CEO @jharohit: "We're scaling to dozens of ground stations over the next few years. Real-time access for anyone operating laser terminals in space."

π°οΈ We just locked our lasers onto a satellite from two continents at once.
Singapore πΈπ¬ and Spain πͺπΈ are now tracking our laser terminal in orbit. Error-free. Recurring. Fully operational.
Why it matters:
β First venture-backed startup doing end-to-end laser comms, Earth to space
β Backbone for LEO networks and Orbital Datacenters for AI
β Telcos finally break past RF bottlenecks
A satellite can see. But can it get the right data to the right place, fast enough to act on?
We've signed an MoA with Antaris to build a persistent ISR architecture in LEO, integrated with high-throughput laser comms.
Flight validation on JANUS-2, Q4 2026. π°οΈ
The US government is tapping Singapore's deep tech for space & defence missions.
We're opening in Austin to get closer to US customers, partners & talent.
Singapore stays home. Mission stays the same: connectivity anywhere & everywhere.

The US government is looking to Singapore for deep tech. @ChannelNewsAsia featured us as one of the companies they're working with tapping capabilities in space & defence that don't exist in many places in the world.
That's why we're opening in Austin. πΊπΈ
6 months.
That's how long Taiwan Mobile was told it'd take to restore a key connectivity route after Typhoon Ragasa collapsed a bridge.
Instead of waiting, they pointed a laser across the river and beamed 10 Gbps through the air.
It went live in days.
Results:
βοΈ 10 Gbps full-duplex capacity
βοΈ 99.9% SLA maintained
βοΈ Operational through persistent rain and harsh weather
All while the bridge was still being rebuilt.
First time a national telecom used laser comms for disaster recovery.
Climate disasters are getting more frequent.
Infrastructure will keep breaking.
The question isn't "how do we prevent it?" β it's "how fast can we recover?"
Taiwan just answered that.
