LaserBit Unveils FSO Product

BUDAPEST, Hungary -– LaserBit Communications Corporation today unveiled the GigaPico, the first solution to be launched in the LaserBit GBit product series. Building on the highly successful Pinto series, the new Gigabit unit, GigaPico, delivers an easy to use, cost-effective solution for wireless connections, and supports Gigabit Ethernet, at full duplex, for up to 200 metres.

Benefitting from more than a decade of research and development, LaserBit’s free space optical laser links are capable of wireless, error-free transmission of voice, video and data. The signal is secure, robust and ‘eye safe’.

GigaPico can deliver ultra high bandwith wireless connectivity that is unique to free space laser-based systems. GigaPico provides Gigabit Ethernet wire speed full duplex data transfer for up to 200 metres and requires no adjustment or configuration on site, meaning installation is fast and easy and the unit can swiftly be re-deployed in the future. In addition, GigaPico eliminates the need to install cables, pay rental costs or comply with licensing requirements. As a member of the GBit systems series, GigaPico comes pre-equipped with an IP-based, SNMP-compatible device management package that allows remote control and monitoring of the equipment.

GigaPico posseses all the cutting-edge advantages of laser-based FSO products. Unlike other wireless technologies, LaserBit systems do not require frequency licenses since they use infrared light as a transmission medium, which is unaffected by electro-magnetic interference. FSO is more secure than other technologies, because the concentrated laser beam is extremely hard to ’tap’, even to discover. The transparent and wire speed data transfer, together with virtually zero latency, assure the easy integration of the system in all environments.
