In 134 BFC Ångström began to develop a low cost in-situ manufacturing method for kagome lattice planes, which they began test deploying in their Utopia Planitia fab complexes. This was followed by deployment into X Group's aerostat ground stations which allowed lower latency interconnects compared to fiber and proved commercial viability for a deployment in Hellas Planitia. The increase in intra-colony data rates combined with much larger and cheaper fibre interconnects was an important enabler of Martian culture, creating the scale for refining many niche songwriters and indigenous VR productions into cultural exports to Earth. During the Retrograde Diaspora in the absence of interest in the colonies from their terrestrial sponsors MarsNet became a hub of black market trading.
