Cablefree Availability of FSO Importance of Fade Margin for FSO • High Fade Margin required to combat bad weather • Rain – low attenuation < 9dB/km • Snow – moderate attenuation < 12dB/km • Mist – moderate attenuation < 12dB/km • Thick fog – high attenuation up to 100dB/km • System features meet ‘5-nines’ criteria • Ultra-sensitive APD receivers • High Quality optics & filtering • Automatic Transmit Power Control (ATPC)
FSO illustration of Fog Densities No fog – Visibility well over 2km Light fog – Visibility over 1km Thick fog – Visibility 400m For 99.999% Reliability: Plan for worst-case local Fog densities Use CableFree’s Link Planning Tools
Cablefree ATPC – how it works No fog – Visibility well over 2km In clear conditions, the CableFree ATPC system automatically reduces output power to a lower level, down to 1/16 of maximum. Overload of the receiver is avoided even in bright sunny conditions Light fog – Visibility over 1km In moderate conditions, the ATPC controller turns the power up to ensure optimum power received at both ends of the link.Sophisticated on-board software avoids overload or drop-out Thick fog – Visibility 400m In bad conditions, ATPC can increase the power to maximum output for a given product type. Note: This means you can install a 4km FSO system say at 600m, to increase availability beyond that which a nominal 1km system could provide
Cablefree ATPC – with & without CableFree link with ATPC switched off A CableFree link without ATPC enabled, showing significant variations in received signal level (RSSI). RSSI variations can be caused by weather effects such as fog, heavy rain, snow or dust storms; also thermal effects, bracket movement and long-term drift CableFree link with ATPC A CableFree Link with ATPC enabled in identical conditions shows no variation in received power (RSSI). The controller automatically adjusts the transmitted power levels to ensure optimum signal received at both ends of the link.Optimum power levels mean minimum Bit-Error-Rate (BER) and reduced risk of overload
FSO Choice of Wavelength Avoid the absorption peaks in the atmosphere CableFree avoids absorption caused by water molecules There is no ‘magic wavelength’ which avoids fog – but … Longer wavelengths allow higher safe output powers A properly designed link budget is the most important 785nm 980nm Slightly Greater fog penetration
FSOReliability Equipment Reliability • Solid-state Peltier cooling for long laser life - MTBF >20yrs • Use of multiple lasers and drivers - protects against possible failure of semiconductor lasers • Housings are water, moisture and rust-proof • System design uses quality components specified for high-reliability telecom systems • Proven track record with over 2000 deployments worldwide CableFree has a ‘fit-and-forget’ design philosophy. Cooling, Heating & power management ensure reliability in all climates. Management systems provide indication of any degradation
FSO & Laser Safety What are the requirements? • Avoid risk of retinal damage • Output power – Class 3B not acceptable, 1M is the accepted limit • Large apertures are safer – Avoid ‘point source’ emission • Divergent systems are safer – e.g. CableFree 0.5 degree • Mounting locations – e.g. roof parapets safer than through glass
