<br/><br/> "Free Space Optical Network is a next generation communication network which uses optical waves instead of microwaves, potentially offering faster communication with ultra band width, meaning more complex communication services can be simultaneously offered. This book describes the network concepts in simple language starting with point-to-point free space optics basics and discusses networking, interoperability with existing communication network, and security. An ideal resource for communication professionals just entering the free space optical communication field and graduate students majoring in optical communications"--Provided by publisher  ". This book describes the network concepts in simple language starting with point-to-point free space optics basics and develop the discussion into networking, interoperability with existing communication network, and security using simple language suitable for both communication professionals who are just getting into free space optical communication field and graduate students who majors optical communications"--Provided by publisher
