Visualizing the Hybrid Architecture: Multi-Layer Network Orchestration
SAN DIEGO, CA – The future of resilient space communications is not a single constellation; it is a Hybrid Space Architecture. Today, Taurus Space enables operators to visualize and manage this complexity with our new Multi-Layer Network view.
Operators can now toggle and overlay distinct network layers—Starlink (High-Bandwidth LEO), OneWeb (Polar LEO), and Iridium (Resilient L-Band)—simultaneously on a single pane of glass. This is not just a visual overlay; it is a functional integration of diverse orbital regimes.
The PACE Methodology in Action
This capability directly supports the PACE (Primary, Alternate, Contingency, Emergency) communication methodology. By visualizing the density and coverage of multiple layers at once, mission planners can instantly identify gaps in one layer that are covered by another.
For example, if a jamming event degrades the primary Ka-band layer (Starlink), our visualizer highlights the availability of the L-band contingency layer (Iridium) in real-time. This allows for rapid, informed switching between providers to maintain the flow of critical command and control data.
Cross-Link Topology
Beyond individual layers, our platform now visualizes the emerging "Inter-Constellation Mesh." Operators can see potential cross-links between compatible satellites, moving towards a future where data hops not just between satellites of the same fleet, but across different commercial and government architectures to find the ultimate survivable path.
