Lightspeed™ R60

Omnidirectional Free-Space Optical (FSO) Transceiver for Secure Network Communications

Mission Aligned Omnidirectional Optical Networks

In modern threat environments, traditional RF is noisy, jammed, and easily intercepted. The R60 offers a nextgen omnidirectional Free-Space Optical transceiver that enables secure, RF-free communication at ranges up to 1,000 meters in all directions—ideal for dynamic, mobile, and contested defense scenarios.

Key Advantages

  • Omnidirectional Coverage: Enables multiple simultaneous, line-of-sight links across 360° up to 1,000 m
  • Covert by Design: No RF emissions; virtually undetectable and immune to jamming – ideal for EW-threatened theaters
  • High Throughput, Low Latency: Supports encrypted command, control, sensor, and video streams
  • Rugged & Modular: Built for field deployment and seamless platform integration (UGV, UAV, perimeter nodes)
  • Integration-Ready: Standard data interfaces, compact SWaP-C profile, SDK and mechanical support for OEMs

Applications

  • Tactical operations in GPS-/RF-denied zones
  • Ad hoc battlefield networks
  • Autonomous ground/air coordination
  • Silent outpost or base networking links
  • Mobile command post data bridges

Whether mounted on a UAV, vehicle, mast, or fixed defense asset, the R60 enables tactical optical networking without the vulnerabilities of RF, making it fully mission aligned for RF-congested, GPS-denied environments.
