Abstract

In the recent past, free-space optical communication (FSO) proved to be an important replacement to radio frequency communication. In optical fiber cable communication, there is a disadvantage that optical fiber gets damaged in a long distance installation. Radio frequency communication also deals with limitations of bandwidth and data rate. In this paper, a brief description about free space optical (FSO) communication and its connectivity with central cellular network is explained. This paper also provides the information about the role of free space optics in the central cellular network. It contains an RF network, which has connections within the Radio Access Network (RAN) and the Central Network (CN) for connecting the mobile user subscriber to the Public Switched Telephone Networks (PSTN) and Internet. Moreover, free space optical communication paves the way for a high bandwidth requiring applications with license free operation, high transmission security, full duplex transmission and protocol transparency will give a broader view to free space optical communication.
