About
The Astrolight POLARIS system offers a robust free space optical (FSO) communication solution, specifically engineered for maritime applications. It is a compact, gimballed system, making it suitable for integration into various vessel types, from large naval ships to smaller unmanned surface vehicles (USVs). This FSO solution provides high-speed data transmission, with capabilities of up to 1 Gbps, ensuring efficient and reliable communication over horizon-limited distances. The system boasts an optical power output of up to 4 W and operates with an electrical power consumption of 200 W. Weighing only 16 kg, POLARIS is designed for relatively lightweight integration. Its precise full angle beam divergence of 0.1° ensures focused and secure data links. For connectivity, it utilizes an Ethernet interface for both data and command functions, and requires a 48 V DC power input.
