New Space : Le Rennais Cailabs passe à l’échelle industrielle
Cailabs 正在借助位于雷恩的未来新厂区 Factory 27，推进从研发型 deeptech 向工业化量产的关键转型。这个新基地面积接近 10,000 平方米，将成为公司扩大产能的核心支点，目标是在 2028 年前把光学地面站（stations sol optiques）的年产量提升到最多 50 台，以满足全球激光通信市场快速增长带来的需求。
这一步标志着 Cailabs 进入新的发展阶段。公司押注的是 New Space 产业中不断扩大的激光通信应用场景，而光学地面站正是支撑卫星与地面高速光链路的关键基础设施。随着全球对更高带宽、更低延迟通信能力的需求上升，相关设备的工业化生产能力也变得越来越重要。
Factory 27 的建设，意味着 Cailabs 不再只停留在技术验证和小规模交付，而是开始为规模化制造做准备。对于一家来自雷恩的深科技企业来说，这不仅是产能扩张，也是其在全球激光通信供应链中提升地位的重要信号。
Cailabs is moving from industrialization to full-scale production with Factory 27, a new nearly 10,000 m² site in Rennes designed to support its next phase of growth. The French deeptech, which specializes in optical communications, is preparing to ramp up manufacturing capacity to meet rising global demand for laser-based links.
The company’s target is to produce up to 50 optical ground stations per year by 2028. These stations are intended to serve the expanding market for laser communications, a segment gaining momentum worldwide as space and telecom players look for faster, more secure, and higher-capacity data transmission.
Factory 27 marks a major milestone for Cailabs as it shifts toward an industrial production model. The new facility is meant to give the company the scale needed to move beyond prototype and limited-series output, positioning it to capture a larger share of the New Space ecosystem as optical communications become increasingly strategic.
Avec Factory 27, son futur site de près de 10 000 m² à Rennes, Cailabs prépare le passage à la production industrielle. La deeptech vise jusqu’à 50 stations sol optiques par an à l’horizon 2028 pour répondre à la croissance mondiale des communications laser. Cailabs franchit une nouvelle étape avec la construction de Factory 27, […]
