For the selection of a suitable FSO system it is only necessary to determine

  • the desired transmission speed of the planned link
  • the rough air-line distance between the buildings

The following OPTICOMM systems are offered:

OPTICOMM-FDD systems are designed for high-speed LAN protocols. They
offer multimode F/O interfaces and a transparent full duplex signal transmission
bandwidth of 500 kbps to 155 Mbps, suitable for Fast Ethernet, FDDI and ATM
networking protocols.

OPTICOMM-FDD/HS systems have the same bandwidth, incorporate however
a single-mode F/O interface for medium and long distance components in PDH
and SDH applications.

OPTICOMM-DUAL systems are genuine 2-channel systems, incorporating two
independent multimode F/O interfaces. Both channels provide a transparent full
duplex signal transmission bandwidth of 200 kbps to 20 Mbps. This allows LAN connections employing low-speed LAN protocols, parallel to G.703 T1/E1 telephone exchange links.

OPTICOMM-DUAL/HS systems also offer two independent full duplex channels.
However, one high-speed channel has a transparent signal transmission
bandwidth of 500 kbps to 155 Mbps, the other channel a bandwidth of 200 kbps
to 4 Mbps. This allows high-speed LAN connections using Fast Ethernet, FDDI or ATM
protocols, parallel to G.703 T1/E1 telephone exchange links.

The systems OPTICOMM-VIDEO are employed in security applications and allow parallel transmission of video and audio signals as well as digital data.

All OPTICOMM systems are available in four performance classes:

Model Min. Distance max. Distance
OC-XX 400 10 m 400 m
OC-XX 1000 50 m 1000 m
OC-XX 2000 50 m 2000 m
OC-XX 4000 250 m 4000 m

Systems of a higher performance class offer higher link availabilities due to
higher power margins, if installed at the same distance.
