Line-Of-Sight Optical Terminals
TILBA®-LOS optical terminals enable the deployment of 10+Gbps point-to-point free-space optical communication networks that are robust to atmospheric turbulence
TILBA®-LOS is designed for 10 Gbps point-to-point atmospheric links over distances exceeding 10 km. This solution enables the deployment of robust, highly secure wireless communication networks due to their invulnerability to interception and resistance to jamming. In addition, since optics are free from spectrum licensing constraints, the communications enabled by TILBA®-LOS exceed the main technical limitations of standard radio frequency signals currently used for free-space communication. Cailabs’ TILBA®-IBC technology is integrated into TILBA®-LOS. This technology uses incoherent combining based on Multi-Plane Light Conversion (MPLC), enabling atmospheric turbulence management at transmission. It increases the reliability of point-to-point optical links through the atmosphere over distances of up to 10 km, making the beam more robust to turbulence and enabling more resilient strategic links. TILBA®-LOS optical terminals are compatible with conventional telecommunications infrastructures, making them easy to deploy. They can be custom-designed for use in harsh conditions, such as mobile, maritime and airborne environments.
Current development
The TILBA®-LOS solution is currently under development. It will be commercially available in 2025.
Cailabs has already completed proofs of concept for point-to-point links in 2021 and 2022, demonstrating links from 200 m to 1 km at 10 Gbps in urban environments with atmospheric turbulence management.
Building on this experience, we are currently working to mechanically integrate our technology, allowing us to offer easy-to-install, reliable and resilient high-throughput links with unrivalled link availability over long distances.
