Business Wire
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.
