Free Space Optics (FSO) is a line-of-sight technology using light to provide optical
bandwidth connections in which voice, video and data information can be sent and
received simultaneously on invisible beams of light.
FSO provides a point-to-point, Infra red, wireless laser transmission designed for
the interconnection of two points which have a direct line of sight. The systems
operate by taking a standard data or telecommunications signal, converting it into
a digital format and transmitting it through free space. The carrier used for the
transmission of this signal is Infra red light and is generated by either high power
LED or low power laser diode(s).
Free Space Optical (FSO) Transmission Systems are playing an increasingly important
role in the delivery of broadband communications in the Enterprise (Business) and
wireless back haul for GSM Mobile operators. Providing high bandwidth and reliable
communications over short distances - FSO is extremely quick and simple to deploy.
And being free form government licences and not requiring planning permission then
network planners are utilising FSO as an integral tool for network connectivity giving
significant benefits in terms of time and cost savings over other wireless communications
routes.
PAV Data has the worlds largest installed based of FSO technology.
