PhantomLink Free Space Optical Communications System
Ultra high bandwidth, EW threat resilient
The PhantomLink™ free space optical (FSO) system provides reliable laser communications for the tactical environment. The system combines a state-of-the-art optical terminal with a multi-waveform, fade-tolerant optical modem. This combination provides high link availability with maximum flexibility and interoperability. The use of lasers and a novel error correction capability provides a high-capacity communications link that is operationally effective in otherwise challenging atmospheric conditions.
Features
Assured Communications When It Matters Most
The PhantomLink system operates outside of regulated spectrum allowing for rapid deployment in support of military operations. Our Pointing, Acquisition and Tracking capability provides for a highly-directional, narrow-beam communication system that is resilient to RF threats. Capable of at-the-quick-halt operations, the PhantomLink system is upgradeable to on-the-move operations as well. It features standards based interfaces with open APIs and possesses proven EW resilience in advanced threat environments.
- Variable data rate from 155Mb/sec to 10Gb/sec adjusts to operational requirements
- Bi-directional, full-duplex for 20 Gb/sec aggregate transport
- Reprogrammable optical waveforms support interoperability now and in the future
- Automated link establishment provides for rapid setup and teardown
