Laser FSO Wireless Links
Lasers are now an old technology and we strongly recommend the use of mililmeter wave solutions as an alternative.
The principles of transmission through free space optics (FSO) are the same as for the transmission of a signal through a fibre optic line. It is an optical data, voice and video transmission system using laser light to transmit digital signals between two transceivers through the air, instead of through a fibre glass strand.
What is Free Space Optics?
The principles of transmission through free space optics (FSO) are the same as for the transmission of a signal through a fibre optic line. It is an optical data, voice and video transmission system using laser light to transmit digital signals between two transceivers through the air, instead of through a fibre glass strand.
Why consider FSO Laser Links?
- Up to 10Gbps throughput
- Full Duplex operation
- Major cost savings over other wireless technology and leased lines
- Licence free operation
- Very secure data transmission
When are laser links mostly used?
- Organisations looking to create a LAN across multiple buildings on the same site
- Organisations looking to reduce the cost of existing leased lines
- In very secure environment's such as military establishments
- Emergency link back up for microwave links
- In organisations that require an high throughput of data up to 10Gbps
- In high density areas where FSO is always RF interference free
- Budget constrained projects
When to consider opting for microwave over laser?
- Areas suffering from severe fog and rain
- Moving buildings
- Pole mounting fixtures
- Line of sight distance more than 2km
