Free-Space Optical Backhaul

Laser-based wireless links for high-capacity backhaul without fiber.
Free-Space Optical Backhaul

Point-to-point laser communication systems that provide fiber-like throughput using line-of-sight optical beams. They are useful for rapidly deploying capacity in dense cities or difficult terrain, but require precise alignment and mitigation of atmospheric effects such as fog and turbulence.
