The Shortcut to Broadband Recognized worldwide as the best in the industry
Free Space Optics or “FSO” Wireless… at the Speed of Light
FSO Overview • Free Space Optics (FSO) uses invisible beams of light to deliver high-speed wireless communications
satellite wireless fiber optic wireline FSO in the Network • Connects to any existing network(s)
FSO Advantages • Easy deployment • No digging • No licensing • No interference • Minimal site requirements • Low power • Small footprint • Zero maintenance
Rapid Return on Investment Choosing fSONA saves our customers up to ten times the cost of competing technologies. With fSONA, you are generating a return on your investment before the competition has finished building their network.
FSO Transmission • Line-of-sight • Point-to-point • From 50m to 5km • 1.5 Mbps to 2.5 Gbps • Full duplex, full speed • Zero latency • Protocol transparent
FSO Deployment • Rapid installations • Easy to transport • Permanent or temporary links • Multiple units at same location/mount • No (beam to beam) interference, cross-talk, fresnel zones • Indoor or outdoor mounting options • Rooftop, tripod, parapet, tower, mobile transmission center, through glass • All-weather operation
FSO: Safe and Secure • 1550nm wavelength is eye-safe • Extremely secure • Undetectable (even with nightvision goggles or spectrum/RF analyzers) • Meets NATO, DOD, BOD/MOD, FBI, MI5 standards • Very narrow beamwidth • No lobe emissions • Data can be encrypted
