Product Overview

The PINTO series of products are the second generation

of compact free space laser based systems from LaserBit

designed to deliver an easy-to-use and cost-effective

solution for high speed wireless connections. The applied

technology is based on the highly successful PICO series

featuring an extra lightweight compact mechanical design

with factory set optical system that requires no adjustment

or configuration on site. Additionally, PINTO systems

c over larger distances and can be ordered with an IP

based management option.

The laser transmission carries the data using a concentrated

laser beam and a unique modulation technique is

employed to ensure error free data transfer over distances

up to 500m. The transparent and wire speed data transfer

together with virtually zero latency assures the easy integration

of the system in all environments. Because they use

infrared light as transmission medium, LaserBit systems

do not require frequency licenses and the transmission

is not affected by electro-magnetic interference. Th e

c o ncentrated laser beam is extremely hard to tap and

even harder to detect. The LaserBit link is a virtual

fiber in the air.

Product Description

The LaserBit PINTO system comprises of two Laser

Heads, two Outdoor Interconnection Units (OIU) and two

optional Indoor Interconnection Units (IIU) – one at each

end. The Laser Heads are installed outdoors, where a

clear optical path exists between the two sites. Next to the

head the Outdoor Interconnection Unit provides fast

and easy interconnection between the

laser head and the cable coming from the

network equipment. Also the OIU houses

the Power Supply Unit (PSU) of the system

and the network interface.The PSU provides

the low voltage power required to operate

the laser head while the data port offers direct

connectivity for standard network equipment. A variety

of standard copper and fiber interfaces are available for

Ethernet, Fast Ethernet and protocol transparent links.

The system contains a built-in signal monitoring unit,

which features a visual signal strength indicator and LINK

status information accessible on the rear of the head

a s s e m b l y. The optional Indoor Interconnection Unit contains

the IP Based Management Hardware (LB-MGM). The bar

graph of the LB-MGM displays the actual signal strength

level while the LED indicators show the presence of

Minor or Major alarm conditions. With the help of the

relay c o n t a c t s an external alarm monitoring equipment may

be connected to the system to further process the alarm

signals. In addition to the above the LB-MGM allows the

monitoring of the link’s operation through a PC-based

software (LaserBit View™) via Ethernet or RS-232 ports.

Investment Protection

By utilising standard network interfaces, LaserBit systems

protect the customers’ investments in long-term projects.

P I N TO systems offer a high level of network flexibility due

to their extremely fast and easy installation method, making

them ideal to follow network topology changes.

Product Overview

GigaPINTO is a new addition to the GIGA series systems,

the ultra high bandwidth productfamily of LaserBit’s

Compact portfolio. GigaPINTO systems provide Gigabit

Ethernet wire speed full duplex data transfer up to 500

meters. Due to the compact mechanical design and factory

set optical system GigaPINTO requires no adjustment or

configuration on site, which makes the installation fast a n d

e a s y. GigaPINTO systems feature multibeam technology

and LaserBit’s patented Automatic Inbound Po w e r

Control, which guarantee outstanding link availability. The

product can be ordered with IP based SNMP compatible

device management that allows remote control and

m o n i t o r i n g of the equipment. Because they use infrared

light as transmission medium, LaserBit systems do not

require frequency licenses and the transmission is not

affected by electro-magnetic interference. The concentrated

laser beam is extremely hard to tap, even to discover since

it can not be detected by spectrum analyzers or similar

instruments. The transparent and wire speed data transfer

together with virtually zero latency assures the easy integration

of the system in all environment. The LaserBit link is

a virtual fiber in the air.

Product Description

The GigaPinto system comprises of two Laser Heads, two

Outdoor Interconnection Units (OIU) and two sets of

interconnection cables — one at each end. The Laser

Heads are installed outdoors, where a clear optical path

exists between the two sites. Next to the head the

Outdoor Interconnection Unit provides fast and

easy interconnection between the

laser head and the cable coming

from the network equipment.

Moreover the OIU houses the Power

Supply Unit (PSU) of the system

and the network interface. The PSU

provides the low voltage power

required to operate the laser head

while the data port offers direct connectivity for standard

network equipments. Both single mode and multimode fiber

optic interfaces are available for easy network integration.

The system contains built in signal monitoring unit, which

features a visual signal strength indicator and LINK status

i n f o r m a t i o n accessible on the rear of the head assembly.

The optional IP Based Management Hardware is placed

in an Indoor Interconnection Unit (IDU). The bar graph

of the IDU displays the actual signal strength level while

the LED indicators show the presence of Minor or Major

alarm condition. With the help of the relay contacts an

external alarm monitoring equipment may be connected

to the system to further process the alarm signals. In

addition to the above LaserBit;s BitViewTM software

allows the monitoring of the link’s operation through a

proprietary graphical interface (GUI) via Ethernet or

RS-232 ports or a third party SNMP manager via

TCP/IP connection.

Investment Protection

Industry standard fiber optic interfaces and clear upgrade path

for higher bandwidth protect the customer's investments in

LaserBit systems. Moreover, GigaPinto systems offer high

level of network flexibility due to their extremely fast and

easy installation method, which makes them ideal to follow

network topology changes.
