TILBA®-TOGS is a transportable optical ground station developed by Cailabs, leveraging the company’s operational experience in optical ground stations to deliver bidirectional space-to-ground optical communications at data rates exceeding 10 Gbps. Designed for rapid deployment close to operations, TILBA®-TOGS is skid-mounted to operate in unprepared environments without dedicated other infrastructure, enabling optical communication capabilities to be deployed wherever the mission requires.
TILBA®-TOGS
Transportable Optical Ground Station for rapid deployment in contested environments
TILBA®-TOGS leverages the maturity of Cailabs’ operational TILBA®-OGS and integrates all critical functions required to establish, operate and maintain optical links in contested and unprepared environments. The system incorporates Cailabs’ patented Multi-Plane Light Conversion (MPLC) technology to deliver resilient bidirectional optical communications with LEO satellites.
Developed in collaboration with Datapath, TILBA®-TOGS combines Cailabs’ optical communications expertise with a transportable architecture designed for rapid deployment wherever the mission requires.
Deploy optical communications wherever the mission requires:
- Secure communications with Low Probability of Intercept (LPI)
- Reduced vulnerability with Low Probability of Detection (LPD)
- Bidirectional high-capacity optical communications: 10+ Gbps
- Skid-mounted for rapid deployment close to operations
- Operates in unprepared environments
- Adaptive positioning for mission-driven flexibility

Certain missions require optical communication capabilities to be available rapidly and close to operations. TILBA®-TOGS provides a deployable solution that reduces dependence on permanent infrastructure while maintaining high-capacity space-to-ground communications. Its transportable architecture enables operators to bring optical communications directly to the point of need, supporting missions in remote, dynamic, or contested environments.
Leveraging laser communication technologies, both TILBA®-OGS and TILBA®-TOGS provide secure, high-capacity communications while benefiting from the inherent advantages of optical links, including Low Probability of Intercept (LPI) and Low Probability of Detection (LPD). Cailabs optical ground stations enable resilient space-to-ground communications in environments where RF communications may face congestion, jamming, or interception risks, helping ensure the continuity of critical communications and data delivery.
