- ABOUT PITNEY BOWES.
- A s many of our customers have discovered, the KRONE Optical Access range of products offers significant advantages over leased lines and other technologies, with no ongoing costs and rapid deployment just some of the key features..
- KRONE’s Optical Access range of Free Space Optics (FSO) equipment was launched in the Australian market early this year and has already experienced success with some high profile installations..
- The main office area, in the Warners Bay showroom, was not large enough to accommodate current staffing levels so a nearby building was leased for additional office space..
- A 10Mb link was required to link the Administration building to the network in the main detention building.
- There are 2 models in the Terescope 1 range suitable for distances up to 350m.
- This revolutionary new technology differs from the existing FSO systems, all the opto electronics are contained in the active module in the communications room and coupled to the Remote Lens unit via fibre optic cables.
- The advantage of this system is that no remote power is required to the outside units, and high data speeds can be transmitted over shorter distances..
- Following on from the success in the Eastern states, an Industry seminar was held recently in Adelaide to launch Optical Access in the South Australian market.
- John McEwen, KRONE Sales Executive, later quoted, “The feedback regarding the OA Seminar has been extremely positive, and the product well received.
