Free Space Optics (FSO)

Next generation Gigabit optical transmission from the pioneer in free space optics technology

LightPointe’s outdoor laser / FSO (Free Space Optics) solutions provide Carriers, Businesses and Government Agencies the capability to quickly connect two or more buildings without regulatory licenses.

Our next-generation laser technology has been developed and refined for over 13 years. In fact, LightPointe’s CEO, Dr. Heinz Willebrand, is one of the key pioneers in developing the core technology and critical patents in the free space optics sector. Simply put, no other laser transmission company has more experience. Dr. Heinz has been widely aclaimed for increasing the reliability/availability and performance of laser systems to a level at which they are now used in 3G and 4G carrier networks with up to “5 nines” availability.

Whether you are connecting buildings in a university/campus setting, or connecting cellular towers for mobile LTE traffic, LightPointe’s next generation laser solutions literally provide throughout at the speed of light, and cannot be intercepted.

Benefits of laser transmission technology from LightPointe:

  • LightPointe is the pioneer in laser technology, inventing many of the key patents in the space. No other company has more experience in FSO transmission.
  • Broadest laser product line in the industry (a solution for any Enterprise or Carrier laser application).
  • Laser transmission cannot be intercepted. It is ideal for sensitive financial, government, medical and video security applications.
  • All products are designed and manufactured in the United States at LightPointe’s headquarters. If there is a manufacturing or other issue, senior management is imediately available.
  • LightPointe offers the industry’s only active tracking four laser-beam solution. This system eliminates mis-targeting and provides parallel beam redundancy, solving problems of first generation FSO systems such as a bird flying through the path. Transmit and receive tracking maintains 100% dead-on beam targeting, due to a larger virtual transmit aperture. The system can adapt to changes in the weather, maximizing availability under all conditions.
  • LightPointe offers exclusive automatic power level control (APC), eliminating short distance optical saturation found in first generation systems.
  • 100% Class 1m eye safe technology.
