management option. The laser transmission carries the data using the concentrated
laser beam and a unique modulation technique is employed to ensure error free data
transfer over distances up to 500 meter. The transparent and wire speed data
transfer together with virtually zero latency assures the easy integration of the
system in all environments. Because they use infrared light as transmission medium,
Laserbit
systems do not require frequency licenses and the transmission is not
affected by electro-magnetic interference. The concentrated laser beam is extremely
hard to tap, even to discover. Basically, the
Laserbit
link can be considered as a
virtual fibre in the air.
The
Laserbit
GigaPINTO
system comprises of two Laser Heads, two Outdoor
Interconnection Units (ODIU), and two optional Indoor Interconnection Unit (IDIU) –
one at each end. The Laser Heads are installed outdoors, where a clear optical path
exists between the two sites. Next to the head the Outdoor Interconnection Unit
provides fast and easy interconnection between the laser head and the cable
coming from the network equipment. Moreover the ODIU houses the Power Supply
Unit (PSU) of the system and the network interface. The PSU provides the low
voltage power required to operate the laser head while the data port offers direct
connectivity for standard network equipments. The system contains built-in signal
monitoring unit, which features a visual signal strength indicator and LINK status
information accessible on the rear of the head assembly. The optional Indoor
Interconnection Unit contains the IP Based Management Hardware (LB-MGM). The
bar graph of the LB-MGM displays the actual signal strength level while the LED
indicators show the presence of Minor or Major alarm condition. With the help of the
relay contacts an external alarm monitoring equipment may be connected to the
system to further process the alarm signals. In addition to the above the LB-MGM
allows the monitoring of the link’s operation through a PC-based software
(

BitView
) via Ethernet or RS-232 ports.
By utilizing standard network interface for Gigabit speed,
Laserbit
systems protect
the customers’ investments in long-term projects. Moreover,
GigaPINTO
systems
offer high level of network flexibility due to their extremely fast and easy installation
method, which makes them ideal to follow network topology changes.
