The international interest in optical wireless communication systems, commonly also referred to as free-space optical communication, is growing quickly. This project, which explores new ways to provide optical connectivity through the air, is exactly in line with this mission,” explains Evgeny Vanin, Senior Scientist at RISE Acreo. “As one of Europe’s top research institutes, Acreo continuously looks for new ICT solutions that address both existing and future demands and that help create sustainable growth in industry and society. New opportunities for high-capacity connectivity with airborne DWDM We are proud to be part of that milestone together with Acreo and Polewall,” explains Fredrik Larsson, Optical Transmission Specialist at Smartoptics. 100Gbps connectivity through the air has not been demonstrated before this trial, at least not with commercially available products. “Smartoptics is generally recognized as offering a very flexible platform for optical networking, with applications for all types of scenarios. But rather than relying on physical fiber for transmitting the DWDM signal between sites, a connection is created through the air using Polewall’s optical wireless technology. In a trial set-up at Acreo’s research facilities in Kista outside of Stockholm, Smartoptics’ recently launched DCP-101 100G transponder is used together with CFP transceivers to create a 100 Gbps DWDM signal. The project is run by RISE Acreo, a Swedish research institute within electronics, optics and communication technologies, in cooperation with Norwegian Polewall, a provider of low-cost point-to-point optical wireless links. Since the beginning of February, Smartoptics has been participating in a research project whose mission is to develop new optical wireless technology solutions for 100Gbps data transmission in the air.
