For the Toronto--Sydney inter-continental connection in an FSOSN with Starlink's Phase 1 Version 3 constellation, when the LISL range is approximately 2, 900 km, the mean network latency and mean average satellite transmission power intersect are approximately 135 ms and 380 mW, respectively.

In comparison with the NG-FSOSN, the improvement in latency with the NNG-FSOSN is significant at LISL ranges of 1, 500 km, 1, 700 km, and 2, 500 km, where the improvement is 16. 83 ms, 23. 43 ms, and 18. 20 ms, respectively, for the Sydney-Sao Paulo inter-continental connection.

It is observed from the numerical results that the crossover distance increases with an increase in the number of hops, and this increase is higher at higher satellite altitudes in OWSNs and lower refractive indexes in OFTNs.

The satellites in these FSOSNs will have limited energy and thereby limited power, and we investigate the effect of link distance and link margin on optical inter-satellite link transmission power, and the effect of slant distance, elevation angle, and link margin on optical uplink/downlink transmission power.

Numerical results reveal that a higher refractive index of optical fiber (or $i$) in an OFTN and a lower altitude of satellites (or $h$) in an OWSN result in a shorter crossover distance.

Formed by using laser inter-satellite links (LISLs) among satellites in upcoming low Earth orbit and very low Earth orbit satellite constellations, optical wireless satellite networks (OWSNs), also known as free-space optical satellite networks, can provide a better alternative to existing optical fiber terrestrial networks (OFTNs) for long-distance inter-continental data communications.

Then, using satellite constellation for Phase I of Starlink, we study the effect of varying a satellite's LISL range on the number of different types of LISLs it can establish with other satellites.
