ADC and LightPointe Team Up on Freespace Optics

ADC and LightPointe demonstrated interoperability between ADC's Digivance radio over fiber solution and LightPointe's Flight Free-Space Optics (FSO). ADC's Digivance system digitizes radio frequency (RF) for transport over fiber and enables wireless carriers to add capacity and extend coverage in their networks. Digivance can be used to centralize base-station equipment ("Base-Station Hoteling") while deploying only the antenna into the desired coverage zone. The integration of LightPointe FSO opens up an additional opportunity to enhance network coverage by deploying remote antennas in routes and locations where terrestrial fiber is not available. The companies said they are working with a major US wireless carrier for initial deployment of the joint solution.
