Free space optics (FSO) is rapidly gaining popularity as an effective means of transferring data at high rates over short distances. Light beams propagating through the atmosphere carry the information from the optical transmitter to the receiver. FSO facilitates rapidly deployable, lightweight, high-bandwidth communication without licensing fee and tariffs. We present FSO system and network concepts, modeling of the terrestrial (near ground) channel, modulation and channel coding aspects and investigations in estimating the probability density function

ABSTRACT As the backbone and the metropolitan area network technologies can increasingly provide unprecedented bandwidth capacities, the focus is being gradually shifted toward broadband access technologies capable of connecting the customer premises to the local exchange. This paper reviews the prospects of state-of-the art Free Space Optical (FSO) technology, as a last mile solution, combined with Millimeter Wave (MMW) systems aiming at increasing both the link range and service availability while providing reliable broadband connections at distances above 1 Km. An overview of the hybrid FSO/MMW system that has been deployed in Athens, Greece, is provided and a brief introduction to the trials that are to be conducted is given.
