Product Matrix
MRV is the leader in Free-Space Optics through its TereScope™ product line.
Free-Space Optics (also known as “FSO”, or “Optical Wireless”) is an optical
data, voice and video transmission system. Like fiber optic cable, FSO
communications systems use laser light to transmit a digital signal between two
transceivers. However, unlike fiber, the laser like is transmitted through the
air (free-space) instead of through a glass strand. In order for the digital
signal to be transmitted and received, there must be clear line of site between
each FSO unit. In other words, there should be no obstructions such as trees or
buildings between the transceiver units.
The TereScope™ family of Free-Space Optics (FSO) products provides low-cost,
high-speed wireless connectivity for a variety of last-mile applications.
Whether you need narrowband voice or broadband data, MRV’s products provide
scalable, wireless alternatives to leased lines. Operating at data rates of 1.5
Mbps to Gigabit speeds, TereScope systems are deployable in one day, without
requiring right-of-way or government permits for installation, providing you
with communication links in hours instead of weeks or months. Whether you are a
Service Provider or an Enterprise customer, the TereScope family of products can
provide you with the data rate, performance and reliability that you need in a
communications network.
Backed by over twenty years of research and development in the field of Free
Space Optics, MRV is the market leader in FSO technology. We have over 5000
links deployed world wide giving us more experience selling, installing and
servicing this equipment than any other FSO vendor. In addition to incorporating
all of the FSO advantages, our TereScopes offer unique and patented features
including:
- Multiple Transmitters to reduce scintillation
- A look-back camera to ensure accurate alignment
- An RF backup system for a number of the TereScopes products, offering
carrier-class availability (99.999%) in all types of weather, including heavy
fog and rain
- Management by MegaVisionTM, our SNMP manager, or any commercially available
SNMP browser.
TereScope 1 Fast Ethernet up to 380 meters
List price under $6000 per pair!
All-optics wireless link
The TereScope 1 optical wireless systems provide direct, fiber-speed
communication to solve the bottleneck often found in last-mile applications.
They are reliable, cost-effective and easy to deploy for networks and backbones
providing high speed wireless connectivity for metro and access areas. TereScope
1 (PAL) systems are all-optical, free of electronics and do not require power.
They are directly connected via optical fibers to the OptiSwitch™ module that
functions as the TereScope 1 network interface unit (NIU). Offering data rates
of 1-100 Mbps, at distances of up to 380 m, these systems avoid the need for
costly and time-consuming fiber runs in developed areas. Easy to install and
align, these systems can be deployed almost instantly to expand your network as
needed. Designed for short distance connectivity, and offered at low cost,
TereScope 1 is an ideal and highly reliable solution for dense urban areas and
for Ethernet traffic based networks. The TereScope 1, like all MRV products is
fully managed by MegaVision Web™, MRV’s SNMP and Web based software.
