Free Space Optical Communications

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. 

What is Free Space Optical Communication?

Free space optical communication is a set of optical techniques that enables the wireless transmission of information. A modulated narrow laser beam carries the digital data from transmitter to receiver through free space, without reliance on optical fibers. To read the entire article, visit Avantier
