I. INTRODUCTION

Throughout time, humankind has always moved towards more optimal methods of communications. Since the late 1800s, the age of Radio Frequency (RF) has dominated the medium in which we have communicated. Consequently, over the past 50-plus years, the RF spectral band has become so crowded that we have had to continually invent new methods to cram more information into the “communications pipes,” or make information travel down the “communications pipe” faster. However, this cannot continue. This paper explores a concept that could take today's communications methodologies to the next level, namely, quantum communications using entangled-pairs (EP). The first part of the paper lays the theoretical foundation of “EP Communications” and the current state-of-the-art. The latter part of the paper leaps ahead 30-plus years (to 2035) and assumes there is a fully functional EP communications capability. Given the EP communications capability, an example is used to illustrate its utility, and how it would virtually revolutionize satellite communications by eliminating the requirement for relay satellites. RF or optical spectral bands would not be used: quantum communications using entangled-pairs is virtually instantaneous with unlimited bandwidth.
