SAN FRANCISCO, 3 MAR 2026: Transcelestial today announces CENTAURI+, world’s first bandwidth-on-demand wireless laser communications platform, designed to upgrade the commercially successful CENTAURI laser communications terminal into an intelligently manageable and quantum-secure product, suitable for the shifting AI-workloads in today’s networks.
Product Info: https://transcelestial.com/centauri-plus
Rohit Jha, CEO and Co-Founder of Transcelestial said: “For the telecom industry, CENTAURI+ reflects a broader shift: optical wireless is no longer only a niche workaround for hard-to-trench routes but for most customers is primary to getting ROI while delivering secure, fast, high speed, low latency internet – supported by the largest production line in the world. It is probably the most advanced hardware put together in the Networking world which gives the team a huge playground to bring advanced capabilities like bandwidth-on-demand and Quantum safety to production networks”
CENTAURI+ is available globally with all our partners starting today for pre-orders, with configurations and deployment support options depending on use case and region. Shipments start March 2026 to select top telco customers who have placed advance commitments.
With flexible bandwidth up to 40Gbps full-duplex capacity from as low as 50m to 3km (1.8 miles) line-of-sight, CENTAURI+ is built for large indoor enterprise and all-weather outdoor telecom deployments where networks need rapid capacity expansion at reasonable costs and without compromising operations and security.

WHAT’s AVAILABLE TODAY – Same Goodness Of Centauri With Layer 2 Advanced Capabilities
CENTAURI+ combines Transcelestial’s optical wireless heritage with advanced networking and management capabilities designed for field operations. Headline technical features include:
- Up to 25Gbps full duplex Tx/Rx speeds in a single product.
- Fully integrated Layer 2/3 interface – combined best of CENTAURI with no additional switches needed for intelligent VLAN and QoS Support
- Advanced Forward Error Correction to dramatically improve availability & Bit Error Rate in more challenging conditions
- Self Healing Technology prevents any disruptions of Laser Terminals on towers by using a closed-loop performance-tracking onboard AI engine. This is enabled via sensor fusion of Communications and Tracking Lasers to have ALWAYS-ON handshake.
- Zero-touch channel bonding for instant automatic failover with ANY RF device or Fiber Optics for mission critical networks. This delivers 99.999% hybrid performance over any distances and weather.
- Minimal Footprint and Operational Savings: Through its minimal footprint (up to 70%+ smaller than traditional RF antennas) and true in-band monitoring and configuration, CENTAURI+ significantly reduces total operating expenses (opex) and tower rental costs. By delivering data and metrics through a unified operational approach, it reduces the number of cable runs, simplifying installation on site.
- Both telemetry-based and SNMPv3 monitoring and management system for on-prem monitoring and secure access to terminal and fleet operations. Product Info: https://transcelestial.com/centauri-plus
WHAT’s UPCOMING – World’s First Quantum-Safe Wireless Terminal And A Bandwidth-On-Demand Core For Shifting AI Workloads
CENTAURI+ is designed to get better and better with time. Transcelestial has an exciting roadmap for unlocking cutting edge network and security features, both at device and fleet level expected to rollout to the product in the field. The platform supports security and performance capabilities that can be delivered and updated through software, allowing operators to strengthen protection and reliability as requirements change.
- Up to 40Gbps full duplex Tx/Rx speeds in a single product.
- WireGuard-based Advanced VPN baked into the fleet mesh to protect traffic with modern cryptography algorithms (e.g. Curve25519, etc) which provide a significantly lower latency overhead per packet.
- Intelligent Packet Prioritisation and other Quality-of-Service features that make it customizable to sophisticated telecom networks compatible.
- Automatic, Adaptive Data Rates which unlock bandwidth-on-demand delivering software-defined throughput across a connection.
- World’s First Production-grade Post-quantum (PQC) encryption capabilities designed to strengthen resilience against future cryptographic threats poised by Quantum computers. This is a direct result of capabilities developed for Transcelestial’s Space program made available to telco, enterprise and government customers.
