Lightspeed™ R4
Auto-Connection Free-Space Optical Communications
Introducing the Auto-Connection FSO system
Compact, high-speed Free-Space Optical (FS0) Transceiver gimbals designed for challenging non-RF environments.
Engineered for mission-critical performance, LightSpeed™ R4 offers covert, wireless, high-bandwidth optical communication at distances exceeding 3km. Designed for seamless integration into defense platforms, these gimbal enable secure, self-erecting, interference-free links – without reliance on congested or compromised RF spectrum.
- 3km+ Tactical LOS Non-RF Comms:Reliable performance in rural, industrial, or urban environments. Ideal for asset to FOB, base-to vehicle, UAV, or deployed sensor backhauls.
- Operational Flexibility: Works in RF-denied, GPS compromised, and spectrum-contested environments
- Hard-to-Intercept Optical Link: Inherent LPI/LPD– No RF emissions, virtually immune to jamming
- Integration-Ready: Compact form factor, modular interface, and plug-and-play interface means they’re up instantly.
- Low Power, High Performance: Optimized for the absolute minimum power consumption possible; embedded and mobile platforms.
