When optical fiber connections are not feasible, laser-beam technology can be a solution. Aircision<\/a>, a communications start-up from the Eindhoven-based accelerator HighTechXL, recently demonstrated the ability to scale the bandwidth of their optical head to a system performance of 1.2Tbps. Aircision delivers ultra-high-capacity free space optics systems that are deployed fast, cover long distances and are highly secure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aircision, a TNO spinoff, provides both communication and metrology solutions using laser technology. Its communications system solution is based on line-of-sight laser technology, which has the potential to increase network connectivity in areas where expansion may be problematic. This is particularly effective in the rollout of 5G, which will require a ramp-up in the number of cell towers and masts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aircision has been developing its novel and proprietary Free Space Optical Communication (FSOC) system since 2019 and has collaborated closely with several stakeholders in the European Photonics Ecosystem. \u201cCompared to existing radio frequency wireless links, we have demonstrated how Aircision\u2019s high capacity optical wireless technology can deliver the unprecedented bandwidth needed for future networks,\u201d said Fernando Guiomar, Senior Researcher at Instituto de Telecomunica\u00e7\u00f5es (IT).<\/p>\n\n\n

In the tests, Aircision showed a performance up to 1.2Tbps over a 1.7 km link which is enough data in a single link for over 5,000 homes. This is over 80 times more data delivered than a state-of-the-art radio frequency system today. “We have proven our optical head can scale with different modulation formats and higher data rates, as we evolve to future 6G networks,\u201d said Robert Hughes, CEO at Aircision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
