Today, the wireless division ( www.freespaceoptics.ca ) of Plaintree Systems Inc. announced that it has delivered one of its largest orders for Free Space Optics to one of their VAR partners in Bolivia, South America.

“There is still high demand for a wireless solution that bridges the gap between inefficient radio and more expensive licensed technologies,” stated Graeme Cross, Business Development Manager for Plaintree. “Free Space Optics offers the end user a solution that is affordable, fast, and very secure. FSO is gaining ground in the market again as people are looking for alternatives to traditional congested radio frequency point-to-point links.”

The customer for this sale required 20 links of Fast Ethernet speeds of up to 100 Mbps along with E1 transmission capabilities. Plaintree Systems offered its 4 port E1 solution and long range LED model to meet their requirements. FSO is ideal for Bolivia which is saturated with RF signals and complex infrastructures. The client needed a system immune to these problems and that they could deploy rapidly.

Plaintree Wireless division operates out of a 135,000 sq. ft. plant in the Ottawa region of Canada with a complete engineering team and state of the art production facilities. Plaintree is a leader in the Free Space Optics industry and is one of the only manufactures to offer a non-lasing, 100% eye safe LED product.
