    Free space optical communication (FSOC) enables almost instantaneous data transfer in space, in the air, on the surface of the sea, and between fixed locations on land. This method of data transfer can provide far more bandwidth than radio frequency (RF)  wireless communication, and is difficult to jam or intercept. It relies not on cables or radio stations, but on optical transmitters and receivers.
