qBeam’s announces the release of its 10Gbps multi-mode (MM) avalanche photo-diode (APD) receiver for free-space optical communications (FSOC) links.

The unit accepts a MM or SM fiber connection from a suitable telescope, detects and amplifies the signal, and outputs the data to an SFP+ socket for connection to the client's modem.

APD receivers are available for 1 Gbps, 3 Gbps and 10 Gbps applications, and can be combined in a single 1U chassis along with a corresponding qBeam FSOC modem.

qBeam announces the release of its new 1U fade-tolerant free-space optical modem & APD receiver for optical communications.

The unit includes an SFP+ socket connection for linking to the client's optical telescope.

The modem supports GigE and 2.5 GigE links, and provides unsurpassed FSOC link performance through a custom fade-tolerant forward error correction (FT-FEC) mode.

The unit now includes in the same chassis a companion APD receiver module, which can accept either a single-mode or multi-mode fiber connection.
