Olee.space, a laser-based communication and photonics defense system, has secured $3 million in a seed funding round from Rockstud Capital and other global investors. The fresh funds will be allocated towards scaling production, advancing its quantum-secure communication protocols, and expanding its defense tech roadmap, Olee.space said in a press release. Co-founded in 2023 by James Solomon and Suman Hiremath, Olee.space is a photonics and defense technology company that builds next-generation systems in Free-Space Optical Communication (FSOC), quantum-encrypted networking, and directed energy weapons. Its advanced solutions include resilient systems for terrestrial, inter-satellite, and ground-to-space links, designed for low latency, maximum security, and optimized data throughput. As per the Pune-based startup, Free-Space Optical Communication (FSOC) uses low-powered infrared laser beams to deliver ultra-fast, secure data links across land, air, sea, and space. Olee.space’s DEW platform, which is under development for anti-drone/UAV and anti-satellite operations, is designed to deliver precision tracking, real-time targeting, and neutralization of aerial threats. “I have always been fascinated by how lasers function. Working with light gives me happiness and I am here to do as much justice to this domain as any of my able team members. What we do here is rewarding to the country, and would continue doing so,” said James Solomon, founder and CEO of Olee.
