Buying Free-space Optical Communication Systems
Free-space optical communication systems use laser beams to transmit data over substantial distances, such as between buildings or satellites. Over moderate distances, data rates of many Gbit/s are possible with a single beam. This technology offers a high-speed, secure alternative to traditional wired communication.
