  <title>FemtoStar - Global Open Infrastructure</title>

      <p>
        Like any satellite communications system, FemtoStar uses a network of
        satellites to allow communications between terminals on earth.
        Traditional communications satellites - both those that act as simple
        repeaters, and those with onboard routing - fundamentally work by
        shuffling data to and from user terminals via a separate,
        non-user-accessible feeder link connecting them to a large, official
        ground station.
      </p>
      <p>
        FemtoStar breaks this distinction. All user hardware can be used both to
        connect to and to operate services, directly via the satellites. There
        are no special "feeder" links, and no prior arrangement with FemtoStar
        is required to operate a service. Credit processing takes place
        on-satellite, and works even when no official ground station is
        available.
      </p>
      <p>
        FemtoStar is also developing FemtoStar Real-Time Core Services (RTCS),
        an open standard for basic communications services such as internet
        access over the FemtoStar network. RTCS is intended to provide a global
        baseline in FemtoStar-based service, and will be supported by all of our
        own ground stations. We encourage RTCS adoption at third-party ground
        stations
      </p>

      <p>
        It's not just services either - the FemtoStar terminal will be released
        as an open standard, with an open-hardware reference design, and
        FemtoStar will work with third-party terminal manufacturers to license
        third-party terminals for use on the FemtoStar network.
