troubleshoot and upgrade on the field. Adjustable transmitter optical system allows
custom configuration of the system for specific installations. The patented Aperture
Control Mechanism delivers outstanding system availability figures. The transparent
and wire speed data transfer together with virtually zero latency assures the easy
integration of the system in all environments. Furthermore,
LB-5000
series
systems can be ordered with IP based SNMP compatible device management that
allows remote control and monitoring of the equipment. 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 since it cannot
be detected by spectrum analyzers. Basically, a
Laserbit
link can be considered
as a virtual fiber in the air.
The
Laserbit
LB-5000
systems comprise of two Laser Heads (each containing
four transmitters), two Outdoor Interconnection Units (ODIU) and two sets of
interconnection cables — one at each end. The Laser Heads are installed outdoors,
where a clear optical path exists between the two sites. Each head is equipped with
heavy duty Alignment Base Unit, which allows exact positioning and ensures reliable
long-term operation of the system. The head assembly features rear and front doors
that provide easy access to the internal parts on the field during installation,
troubleshooting or upgrade procedures. 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. A variety of standard
copper and fibre interfaces are available for voice and data applications. 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 IP Based Management Hardware is placed in an Indoor Interconnection
Unit (IDIU). The bar graph of the IDIU 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 process the alarm signals further .In addition to the above
Laserbit
BitView
TM software allows the monitoring of the link’s operation
through a proprietary graphical interface (GUI) via Ethernet or RS-232 ports or a
third party SNMP manager via TCP/IP connection. .
Industry standard network interfaces and clear upgrade path for higher bandwidth
protect the customer's investments in
Laserbit
systems. Moreover,
LB-5000
systems offer high level of network flexibility due to their modular design, which
makes them ideal to follow network topology changes.
