Kepler sells optical data-relay connectivity from its satellite network to commercial and government customers, including hosted-payload users.
Kepler Communications is a Canadian operator of an optical data-relay network (33 satellites operating, its first ten optical-relay satellites launched January 2026) that adds on-orbit compute and hosted-payload capacity, the relay layer every LEO operator may rent. It became Neutron's first named commercial customer (August 2026, a dedicated Rocket Lab launch no earlier than 2028), choosing dedicated launch because the live network needs orbital precision rideshare can't give. Revenue is estimated at 10-100m (~$500M raised class).
