Why Free Space Optics?

Advantages of FSO
Free Space Optics solutions offer various advantages of normal RF signal wireless networks such as: Free Space Optics does not suffer from radio frequency interference or band saturation. License free operation. No software needed on client devices.

Why do we use free space in optical communication?

As the RF spectrum becomes increasingly congested, free space optical communications (FSOC) offers an alternative. Not only does it offer greater bandwidth and security it avoids spectrum conflict. Unlike RF, the laser beam is highly directional and different links do not interfere with each other.

What is the use of free space optics?

Free Space Optics (FSO) transmits invisible, eye-safe light beams from one “telescope” to another using low power infrared lasers in the terahertz spectrum. The beams of light in Free Space Optics (FSO) systems are transmitted by laser light focused on highly sensitive photon detector receivers.
