VANCOUVER, Canada-Engineering, construction and management services provider Bechtel will now offer free space optical communications equipment through fSONA Communications, according to the companies’ recently announced global procurement agreement.
Under the agreement, Bechtel customers will be able to purchase fSONA equipment directly from Bechtel. “FSO systems provide high bandwidth at a fraction of the cost of fiber-optic cable,” explained Jake MacLeod of Bechtel. “Additionally, the time for deployment is drastically reduced when compared to placement of fiber optic cable. We believe FSO technology will provide specific solutions for short haul, high-capacity communication links in both private and public sectors.”
