LightPointe Extends Global Optical Wireless Reach
September 21, 2004
From wire service reports
LightPointe, a designer and manufacturer of optical wireless products based on free-space optics (FSO)
technology, announced today that it has reached a new company milestone,
eclipsing sales of 2,500 systems worldwide for enterprise and service provider
customers in more than 60 countries.
Enterprise customers now account for approximately 80 percent of systems
sold, with many high-profile global companies and organizations such as Nokia,
RBC Dain Rauscher Inc., CDI Corp., 24 Hour Fitness, Smithsonian Institution
and Turner Broadcasting System, Inc. (CNN) now deploying LightPointe's
Flight(TM) family of optical wireless products.
In enterprise applications, LightPointe products link campus networks to
fiber backbones or bridge two or more buildings in classic LAN-to-LAN
connections historically addressed by T1/E1 or 802.11 bridges. With
bandwidths ranging from single T-1/E-1 up to 2.5 Gbps at distances up to 4 km,
LightPointe products transmit voice, data, and video over any protocol without
the need for fiber-optic cable or RF spectrum licenses.
With its new FlightLite 100 product, which has been shipping since
August, LightPointe has lowered the barrier for enterprises seeking cost-
effective LAN-to-LAN bridging. Delivering a new standard for price-per-bit
wireless full-duplex, Fast Ethernet connectivity of 100 Mbps, the product
connects remote buildings to a campus LAN for about the same price as
competing 802.11a and 802.11g half-duplex solutions -- while delivering about
four times the bandwidth.
According to Jim Cady, LightPointe's president and chief executive office,
optical wireless solutions represent the ultimate "big pipe" connectivity
solution for enterprises migrating up the bandwidth scale and upgrading from
technologies such as 802.11. "Momentum is building for optical wireless
solutions because they combine all the benefits of fiber-optic cable --
including high-capacity, security and reliability -- at prices comparable to
competing 'last-mile' wireless alternatives," he said.
