Kepler Announces Tech Industry Veteran Carl Jenkins as SVP of Engineering
TORONTO, Aug. 14, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Kepler Communications, a company building Internet connectivity for space, today announced the appointment of Carl Jenkins as its new senior vice president of Engineering. Jenkins will lead Kepler's global engineering organization, overseeing the technical strategy and execution as the company advances the deployment of its optical data relay network and in-orbit communications infrastructure.
Kepler is building an optical data relay network designed to provide real-time connectivity for space-based assets. The company's architecture integrates high-throughput optical inter-satellite links (OISLs), onboard processing, and low-latency mesh routing in low Earth orbit. In June 2024, Kepler successfully demonstrated its first OISL in space, a major milestone toward launching its next-generation constellation. The Kepler Network aims to deliver sub-second latency, gigabit throughput, and seamless data relay capabilities for commercial, scientific, and government missions in orbit.
