Choose Laser Technology

The Benefits:
There are many seasons why customers choose FSO wireless solutions

Licence-free operation
No need to obtain frequency licences for the operators of laser based wireless cabling solutions. Connections can be established as a ONE-TIME investment with no recurring costs.

Cost-effective:
Reduce your installation and lease line costs. This is a wireless installation - all lease line costs are eliminated giving you an incredibly quick return on your investment. Installation costs are minimized as there is no need for the costly installation of cables. Time is saved as there is no need to seek permissions for digging roads or obtaining special licenses.

Investment protection:
By using future proof fibre optic interfaces, the solution protects customer investments. The modular design of mean that most equipment can be easily and cost-effectively upgraded for greater bandwidth or distance.

No interference:
Because they use infrared light for communication, the performance of Wireless Cabling systems is not effected by electro-magnetic noises and is not subject to interference with traditional wireless devices.

High bandwidth:
Optical free space data transmission gives you the same bandwidth and speed of fixed optical fibre.

Secure data transmission:
Free space transmission is one of the safest transmission methods of its type because:
- Direct interception is virtually impossible with the concentrated beam and physical placement of the equipment-well above ground level.
- No instruments such as spectrum analyzers can detect the communication.

Quick installation:
A Wireless Cabling solution is quick and easy to deploy. All solutions are plug and play.

Excellent price/performance:
Wireless Cabling systems have outstanding low cost per bit ratios.

Flexibility:
The Wireless Cabling systems are divided into distance ranges- customers select the system that matches their needs. They can be deployed in a wide variety of network architecture and mesh systems. They can be installed roof to roof, window to window, window to roof or wall to wall.

How our Lasers Work:

Laser - A device that produces coherent light with a narrow range of wavelengths. Free space optics operates in the infrared spectral range common with the fiber optic communications and is based on semiconductor laser technology due to small size, power and cost. Most of these lasers are also common within the fiber optic industry making availability not a problem. In digital transmission the transmitter is modulated by the signal that carries the network traffic similar to fiber-optics, during this process electrical data is converted into optical, this conversion keeps the transmission route independent of the protocol and operates as a physical layer one link (non-protocol tansparent link).

The receiver picks up the modulated light and then converts the optical bit stream back into an electrical signal making the connection complete. A digital signal is a series of 0' and 1s, modulation for FSO is achieved simply by turning the light source on and off in response to the electrical signal either by self modulation or use of a shutter. The torch comparison is a good explanation - you can communicate with someone far away at night simply by switching a torch beam on and off in a predetermined sequence, the Laser is our modern version of the torch (on and off) working at 300,000km/s this is optical communications at the speed of light. FSO systems are simple binary "1" is light on "0" is light off the receiver is designed to recognise these two different states compensating for "background noise" such as ambient light completing the communication process.

100Mb/200m

Overview

This Laser sets a new standard for Free Space Optical transmission systems. They provide a simple and easy to install solution that is unique in laser based networking. This new range of products incorporates a lightweight, compact mechanical design with a factory-set optical system, which allows end-users to benefit from simple and quick installation. The Laser is more competitively priced than 2.4 GHz radio solutions and the bandwidth provided is about ten times higher. The Laser range offers cost effective, reliable and secure laser based free space optical transmission for local area networks (LAN) at full duplex Fast Ethernet wire speed. The transmission carries data using a concentrated laser beam and a unique modulation technique is employed to ensure error free data transfer over distances of up to 150 meter. Transparent and wire speed data transfer together with virtually zero latency ensures that the system can be easily integrated into any environment. The series use laser light as a transmission medium. As with all Laser systems this means that frequency licenses are not required and transmission is not affected by electro-magnetic interference. The data transmission via a laser beam is secure as it is extremely hard to intercept, and cannot be detected by spectrum analysers. The Laser link is a virtual fibre in the air.
