Innovations appear to be OAM and tip/tilt adaptive optics. FSO is certainly a real technology: CableFree have 20 years experience in this, and we've seen that some products that were/are on the market are certainly less solid than others. Commercial FSO is mostly used for shorter 1Gbps links in cities these days, and ours customer base includes major clients. FSO does have the advantage of not suffering interference, and genuine 1Gbps FDX capacity. Our own page is www.cablefree.net/fso for anyone interested - Best regards Stephen On 31 October 2017 at 04:01, Rory Conaway <[email protected]> wrote: > This has been out for some time.
