Long Distance Optical Airborne Communications
AOptix Technologies MX-15 Skyball (seen here mounted to a P-68 Observer airplane) conducted recent air to ground wireless downlinks for the Air Force at 3.0Gbps of optical bandwidth. Covering an effective ground area of over 15,000 square kilometers, the single bi-directional, 3 Gbps multi-channel data link transmitted simultaneous uncompressed high-definition (HD) video, audio and gigabit Ethernet. The recent demonstrations quantified end-to-end link performance over various spatial geometries, altitudes, and ground terminal positions while maintaining a low power, eye safe communications link. This technology has enabled AOptix to demonstrate air to ground ultra-high bandwidth links greater than 70 kilometers flying at 10,000 feet and mountain top to mountain top links in excess of 150 kilometers.
