fSONA Systems Corp.

fSONA Systems Corp.

Founded in 1997, fSONA has an exclusive license from British
Telecom to manufacture optical or laser-based systems that
provide short haul, high volume, ultra high-speed wireless
communications in virtually all weather conditions and terrain.

A privately held corporation, fSONA is headquartered in British
Columbia, Canada, and has its primary research and development
center in Los Angeles, Calif. The companys primary customers
are competitive local exchange carriers (CLECs), Internet
Service Providers (ISPs) and facility owners and managers.

fSONAs SONAbeam products carry high volumes of digital
information - voice, data, video and computer files. And they
carry information at speeds as high as 1.25 gigabits per second
to receiver terminals as far apart as four kilometers (about 2.5
miles).

The companys advanced systems are capable of carrying high
volumes of digital information farther than most competitive
products. fSONAs transceivers transmit data at speeds ranging
from 155 megabits to 1.2 gigabits a second, thousands of times
faster than data sent over todays wireline networks.

Since the laser connections can be aligned automatically to
compensate for building sway and rough weather conditions,
fSONAs transceivers can be set up quickly, often in a matter of
hours. Once in place, the systems are available for use as much
as 99.9 percent of the time, regardless of atmospheric
conditions or terrain.

Moreover, since SONAbeam lasers operate at a low wavelength near
the infrared part of the spectrum also used by television remote
controls, they are certified safe for use in highly populated
areas.

fSONA systems complement existing technologies such as cable,
digital subscriber line (DSL) and microwave links. The systems
are ideal for office parks, campus links, point-to-point private-
line connections, high speed interLAN connections, or fiberlike
extensions to SONET ring networks.

Currently, the fSONA product line includes four advanced optical
wireless systems.

• fSONAs entry-level system, the SONAbeam 155-2 is a fixed
  alignment system that operates at a speed of 155 megabits per
  second over a distance of two kilometers.



• A second system, the SONAbeam 155-4 operates at the same
  speed, but uses dynamic beam tracking and alignment instead of
  fixed alignment. It will operate over a distance of up to four
  kilometers.



• A third, the SONAbeam 622-4, will be capable of carrying 622
  megabits of digital data over four kilometers as well.



• A fourth, the SONAbeam 1G-4 will carry 1.25 gigabits of
  information over the same distance.

A number of important features that SONAbeam products apart from
other optical wireless vendors. For instance, the systems -
while currently carrying information at speeds of up to 1.25
gigabits a second - are designed to operate at speeds as high as
40 gigabits. Also, the SONAbeam 155-4, 622-4 and 1G-4 employ an
innovative dynamic beam tracking and alignment technology that
makes it possible to install transceivers in less than half an
hour.

fSONA products are also highly secure, require no government
licensing and can be readily deployed within hours of the
availability of line-of-sight access. Moreover, fSONA systems
can use any signal-scrambling technology that optical fiber can
use.
