Æther 1 [Kepler]
Kepler Communications is designing a constellation of CubeSats for Internet-of-Things (IoT), machine-to-machine (M2M) and inter-satellite communications services. The second generation satellites are larger than the first generation Kepler satellites and feature optical laser communication terminals.
