Laser Communication Terminals for Aerial Applications
- High data rates of more than 1 Gbps.
- Point-to-point communication.
- No license costs, no usage restrictions, no ITU spectrum regulation.
- High robustness to interception, jamming, or spoofing due to narrow beam divergence.
- High degree of eye-safety due to wavelength 1550nm.
The MLT-20 is a miniaturized laser communication terminal for the application on small flight platforms as UAVs or helicopters. Main focus in the development of the line was a compact envelope based on an innovative pointing system, low power consumption and heat dissipation. The terminal is optimized for the dynamic behavior of agile flight platforms with a high degree of vibrations. For more information contact us. Data sheet.
- Transmit/receive aperture 20mm at <5kg weight
- Data rate >1Gbps
- Link distance up to 50km
The MLT-100 is a miniaturized laser communication terminal for high-performance backbone networks. Main application areas are the interconnection of high-flying platforms (e.g. statospheric platforms or passenger airliners) or the setup of relay scenarios using a combination of an MLT-20 (e.g. on a small UAV) and an MLT-100 on a larger relay platform. Main feature is a large terminal aperture (Ø100mm) combined with minimum weight and volume requirements of the whole system. For more information contact us. Data sheet.
- Transmit/receive aperture 100mm at <25kg weight
- Data rate >1Gbps
- Link distance up to 600km
