Sat vs Laser Link? Space Science and Technology Myth The 2026 orbital experiment, backed by $39 billion in semiconductor subsidies, proved that laser links can deliver secure quantum-encrypted data faster than traditional RF satellites. In my analysis, this result overturns the long-standing belief that radio-frequency (RF) will remain the default
