Kepler Communications Inc.

We use a satellite constellation to deliver on-orbit data by acting as Internet exchange points for space-to-space data relay. We design and deploy hybrid optical constellations to improve communications for missions in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) and beyond. The Kepler Network is an on-orbit cloud environment that offers real-time connectivity, on-orbit compute, and hosted payload services for space missions. We aim to build a real-time optical backbone that connects space to Earth, allowing for in-orbit data processing and extending Internet principles into space.

We serve markets such as Defense & Intelligence, Earth Observation, Human Space Flight, and Space Sustainability. We deliver secure data for Defense & Intelligence clients. For Earth Observation, we provide bandwidth for high-resolution imagery, which helps with downlink bottlenecks. For Human Space Flight, we offer communication infrastructure for orbiting business parks, space hotels, and lunar habitats. Our network also provides essential communications for Space Sustainability efforts like on-orbit servicing, debris removal, and traffic avoidance.

Founded in 2015, we are headquartered in downtown Toronto with an in-house production facility. We have patented technology deployed on 23 satellites in orbit, including 21 RF satellites in our GEN1 constellation. Our optical technology is SDA-compatible. In January 2026, we launched our first optical relay satellites.

Our mission is to build the Internet for Space. We want to extend human reach by establishing modern Internet infrastructure in orbit for the future space economy. This means providing real-time, continuous connectivity for space, making space-generated data instantly accessible, and enabling humanity to become a spacefaring civilization.

Our core values are Drive, Empathy, and Agility.

• Drive: We expect employees to have passion and determination, solving complex problems to achieve our mission of building the Internet in Space.
• Empathy: We foster support and trust, encouraging people to set aside personal bias and understand diverse perspectives.
• Agility: We encourage employees to adapt to new opportunities, focus on rapid learning, and develop new ideas to achieve our mission.

We employ between 51 and 200 people. Our culture values drive, empathy, and agility, focusing on impacting the future of space. We look for bold thinkers, skilled builders, and diverse perspectives. We emphasize automation, continuous delivery, and infrastructure modernization across platforms.

Our work environment encourages inclusive collaboration to develop new approaches and frameworks. Employees learn and expand their responsibilities, working alongside peers across various projects and teams, including hardware and software development. We value opinions and take on ambitious goals. We also maintain a supportive atmosphere and celebrate milestones. We operate with a hybrid work environment and have been recognized as a Great Place to Work® for five consecutive years.

We offer competitive compensation packages, including a strong equity plan. Employees receive comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance coverage, even for dependents. We provide unlimited vacation, a parental leave policy, and a company-wide holiday shutdown. Employees can participate in semi-annual company-wide parties and frequent in-office team events. Relocation packages are available for approved roles, and we offer a $1,500 annual professional development fund. Our Toronto office has a fully stocked kitchen with snacks, drinks, games, and kitchen appliances. We maintain connection and engagement through Town Halls, Celebration Calls, and company-wide events. We are a certified Great Place to Work® for five consecutive years.
