Extremely high through put data connections usually require a hard wired fiber optic connection. There are many instances were this is impractical, impossible or too expensive. Enter the wireless optical point to point data link. A good example of this is the LightPointe FlightStrata G Optical Gigabit Link.

Advantages

Speed	Full duplex Gigabit Ethernet (1.25Gbps) connectivity for data intensive networks
Reliability	Immune to interference Autotracking - Heads automatically adjust to keep beams aligned Four beam to four receiver connectivity
Security	Very narrow beams of invisible light that spread less than one half of a degree make detection and interception virtually impossible

Applications

Enterprise Connectivity

Many large companies occupy several buildings in the same vicinity and need to have high speed connectivity between them. The typical 1.54 Mb cable copper lines between buildings are too slow by several orders of magnitude. Running fiber optic lines would solve the problem but is extremely expensive. Wireless optical connectivity is the ideal solution providing secure and reliable Gigabit Ethernet speeds.

Disaster Recovery

Natural or man made disasters could result in fiber cuts resulting in disruption of connectivity between a corporations business assets. This is unacceptable and can result in huge financial losses when the flow of voice traffic and financial transactions is disrupted. Business can deploy wireless optical links both as a backup to fiber connections as well as to add bandwidth to the corporate network.

Video

Real time video monitoring networks are used in a variety of applications including warehousing, shipping harbors, mass transportation monitoring and street monitoring. These neworks require a bandwith much higher than the 1.5Mbps that T1 lines can provide. Deploying fiber optics would be unreasonably expensive. Wireless optical is the ideal solution providing secure and reliable connections up to gigabit speeds.
