AOPTIX, the company behind the technology, pitches it as a cheaper and more practical alternative to laying new fiber optic cables.

says Chandra Pusarla, senior vice president of products and technology at AOPTIX. He says a faster way to install new capacity is to use his company wireless transmission towers to move data at two gigabits per second.

AOPTIX technology takes the form of a box roughly the size of a coffee table with an infrared laser peering out of a small window on the front,

AOPTIX teamed up the laser and radio links to compensate for weaknesses with either technology used alone.

Routing data over both simultaneously provides redundancy that allows an AOPTIX link to guarantee a rate of two gigabits per second with only five minutes or less downtime in a year,

But AOPTIX says the convenience of its technology makes up for that and it could be increased to four gigabits or more in the future.

The radio and laser equipment inside an AOPTIX device move automatically to compensate for the swaying of a cell tower caused by wind.

AOPTIX originally developed its laser technology for the Pentagon, designing systems that actively steer laser beams to keep data moving between ground stations, drones, and fighter jets.

Pursala declined to identify the three U s. carriers that have been testing AOPTIX technology over the past year or so,

will use AOPTIX technology in New jersey to shave nanoseconds off the time it takes data to travel between the computers of Nasdaq Stock market and the New york stock exchange e
