Brigaid Networks
A high-speed data transfer network using free-space optical communications with applications in telecoms and defence.
What I wanted to do
Explore whether free-space optical communication could provide useful high-speed links in constrained telecom settings.
What I actually built
A venture, technical prototype direction and a body of work developed through NDRC and NovaUCD accelerator programmes.
What happened
Retired as a company direction.
What survived
- Infrastructure thinking.
- Regulatory and institutional constraints.
- Building under uncertainty.
- A preference for mechanisms that can survive contact with the world.
