The Infrastructure Revolution Behind Data Centers in Space With Ramon.Space CEO Avi Shabtai
In this episode, Ramon.Space CEO Avi Shabtai explains the vision of a distributed‑architecture data center in space, where a mesh of satellites functions as individual compute and storage nodes. He outlines the technical foundations—edge‑computing hardware, onboard processing, and inter‑satellite networking—that enable such a system, and discusses the engineering challenges of power, thermal management, and latency. Shabtai predicts that within the next five to ten years, a fleet of these satellites could provide scalable, low‑latency services for global data processing, complementing terrestrial data centers. He also highlights the strategic advantages of space‑based infrastructure, such as resilience to terrestrial disruptions and proximity to satellite‑generated data streams.
