Attochron #FSOC

Attochron is the exclusive developer of free-space laser systems using ultrashort pulse (USP) laser systems including free space optical (FSO) aka optical wireless communications (OWC). Attochron is the only FSO technology leveraging *short coherence length* pulses to eliminate effects of clear air 'scintillation'...and finally make FSOC meet carrier grade specifications (>10^-9 BER and fiber-availability) well beyond 1-mile. This unique ability solves the number one challenge for carriers everywhere: scalable backhaul. Attochron's intellectual property is global and we have built a multi-gigabit Ethernet *demonstrator system* that can scale capacity for years to come. Attochron has the carrier customers, knows the performance and cost targets and has aligned the complete supply chain and sales channels. And Attochron is demonstrating use cases in harsh environments (for lasers): including in the notorious fog of the Blue Ridge Mountains in Lexington, Virginia, USA. The key markets are typically called 'backhaul'​ -- represented by 1 to 5 kilometer distance links where Gbps capacity and carrier-grade Ethernet service is absolutely necessary. These markets include the 'other 50%'​ of cell towers, 75% of small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), 95% of multi-dwelling units (MDUs) and edge computing links which are the No.1 challenges faced by *all telcos in all countries*. Go Attochron, Go Ultrafast(TM), and get a link working for you.
