Problem
Deploying high‑capacity broadband networks often requires laying fiber, which is costly, time‑consuming, and subject to regulatory permits, especially across obstacles like highways, rivers, and railroads. This limits rapid expansion of reliable, high‑speed connectivity in many regions.
Solution
Theia™ offers a 10 Gbps fiberless optical link that uses laser‑based free‑space optics to deliver broadband performance comparable to fiber while leveraging existing fixed‑wireless installation practices. The system operates on light waves, eliminating the need for FCC spectrum licenses and avoiding the logistical challenges of trenching or right‑of‑way acquisition. Built on military‑originated technology, Theia™ provides an automated, self‑steering laser beam that maintains link stability even in adverse weather, reducing maintenance labor. The solution integrates with standard mounting hardware, enabling quick, safe deployment by installers familiar with RF equipment. Secure, electromagnetic‑interference‑resistant connectivity ensures data integrity for critical applications.
Target Audience
Primary customers are broadband service providers, municipal networks, and enterprise users seeking high‑speed connectivity in areas where fiber deployment is impractical or cost‑prohibitive.
