FSO on HAPs (Future Application)
Applications
Mesh FSO Systems
Applications
2 Transmitter projects the carefully aimed light pulses into the air 3 A receiver at the other end of the link collects the light using lenses and/or mirrors
5 Reverse direction data transported the same way. Full duplex 1 Network traffic converted into pulses of invisible light representing 1s and 0s 4 Received signal converted back into fiber or copper and connected to the network
Anything that can be done in fiber can be done with FSO
Applications
Disadvantages
Cannot connect more than 2 points The points cannot have arbitrary distance between them Has the poorest network and traffic protection
Mesh FSO Systems
Applications
Ring FSO Systems
Mesh FSO Systems
Nodes of a mesh - FSO topology on fl at terrain but with nodes at different heights.
Applications
Ring FSO Systems
Mesh FSO Systems

Advantages
The best network and service protection
Very high data rates Scalability and expandability
Applications
Ring FSO Systems
Mesh FSO Systems

Disadvantages
The complexity of each node in the mesh topology.
High Cost
Nodes over a geographical territory with line of sight between them.
Applications
Free Space Optical Networks Ring FSO Systems Mesh FSO Systems

Use on high altitude platforms (HAPs), (20 30 Km). Estimated Range: more than 600km.
Applications
Free Space Optical Networks Ring FSO Systems Mesh FSO Systems

Advantages: Stratospheric Conditions. Low attenuation, no cloud interference, low tempretureetc. Cost Effective (Compared to Satellites) FSO Advantages High Data rate, Low Power Consumption etc.
