EON Proposes Space Lasers to Replace Undersea Data Cables

EON is proposing a space-based laser network to carry global internet traffic, positioning it as an alternative to undersea fiber-optic cables. The company argues lasers could offer faster, more secure, and less geopolitically vulnerable data transmission. The project is a long-shot concept that would need major orbital infrastructure, but highlights growing interest in rethinking the backbone of the internet.
