Description for Free Space Optical Networks for Ultra-Broad Band Services
Hardcover. Free Space Optical Network is a next generation communication network which uses optical waves instead of microwaves, potentially offering faster communication with ultra band width, meaning more complex communication services can be simultaneously offered. Num Pages: 256 pages, Illustrations. BIC Classification: TJK. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 245 x 165 x 18. Weight in Grams: 488.
This book provides a comprehensive description of an optical communications technology known as free space optical—a next-generation communications network that uses optical signals through the atmosphere instead of fiber, RF, or microwaves. This technology potentially offers more complex ultrabandwidth communication services simultaneously to multiple users and in a very short time, compared to fiber optic technology. This text presents established and new advancements drawn from the latest research and development in components, networking, operation, and practices.
