Attochron

Attochron is the exclusive developer of optical wireless laser systems using very short coherence length (SCL) optical sources (for major propagation improvements in air) including ultrashort pulse lasers (USPL). These include free space optical communications (FSOC) aka optical wireless communications (OWC). Attochron is the only FSO technology leveraging *short coherence length* pulses to eliminate negative effects of clear air 'scintillation'...and make FSOC meet carrier grade specifications (>10^-9 BER and highly-availability) well beyond 1-mile. This unique ability solves the number one challenge for carriers everywhere: scalable cell tower backhaul, enterprise access and multi-dwelling unit access to reach everywhere fiber is too expensive to install. #Attochron FSOC solves the #digitaldivide. Attochron's intellectual property is global and Attochron is going to market with the ALTIS-7 (TM) multi-gigabit data links. Attochron has the carrier customers, knows the performance and cost targets and has aligned the complete supply chain and sales channels. And Attochron is demonstrating use cases in harsh environments (for lasers): including in the intense fog of the Blue Ridge Mountains in Lexington, Virginia, USA. The key markets are typically called 'backhaul' and ‘enterprise access’ -- represented by 1 to 5 kilometer distance links where Gbps capacity and carrier-grade Ethernet service is absolutely necessary. These markets include the 'other 50%' of cell towers, 75% of small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), 95% of multi-dwelling units (MDUs) and edge computing links which are the No.1 challenges faced by *all telcos in all countries*. Go Attochron, Go Ultrafast(TM), and get a link working for you.
