Why FSO - The Real Benefits

LaserBit offers wireless, free space laser-based voice, data and video transmission systems.

The solution from LaserBit is cost-effective, reliable and a point-to-point connection between telecommunications equipment and computer network devices through free space.

Laser transmission carries data using a well controlled concentrated laser beam with a high bandwidth – and up to ONE gigabit speed.

Free Space Optics gives you all the benefits of cabling but with the flexibility of wireless.

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 LaserBit solution protects customer investments. The modular design of LaserBit’s Wireless Cabling means that all 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 LaserBit 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:
LaserBit 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 LaserBit Wireless Cabling solution is quick and easy to deploy. All solutions are plug and play.

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

Flexibility:
The LaserBit 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 or window to roof.
