Free-Space Optics: A Viable Last Mile Alternative
Overview This paper explores Free-Space Optics (FSO) as an access technology in the "last mile" of metropolitan area networks (MANs). These networks are based in part on fiber-optic telecommunications infrastructure, including network architectures of Synchronous Optical Network (commonly referred to as SONET), the North American standard for synchronous data transmission; and Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (commonly referred to as SDH), the international standard and equivalent of SONET.
