E BEAM LASER TRANCEIVER
The Whirlwind E Beam represents the latest breakthrough technology in economical, wireless digital laser transmission. E Beam can solve many of the logistical problems encountered when using standard copper wire or fiber optic cabling. It is unaffected by rain, fog, heat or visible light. It is also immune to
interference from radio sources, ground loops, radiated noise from nearby electronics, etc. Redundant signal paths can easily be established for ensuring fail-safe communications in critical applications.
You can direct the beam vertically through building cores or horizontally below a ceiling or link up offices, campuses, stages and sporting events without trenching cable or installing conduit. It’s also a great solution for “on the spot” setup where there’s breaking news, at music festivals, over highways, building to building, anywhere a laser beam can travel and cable cannot.
It’s fiber optics without the fiber!

 |
VERSATILE
The E BEAM transmits Ethernet data and compatible protocols such as CobraNet™, EtherSound, MPEG, AMX, DMX, RS232, etc. The E BEAM solves many of the logistical problems encountered when using standard copper wire or fiber optic cabling. |
 |
 |
 |
 |
|
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
HIGH BANDWIDTH
The 100Mb full duplex bandwidth has the capacity for transmitting and receiving large amounts of data or 128 channels of CobraNet™ or EtherSound audio in real time. The 1Gbps version increases bandwidth ten-fold. |
 |
 |
 |
 |
|
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
QUICK AND EASY SETUP
E BEAM units can be setup quickly - you're up and running in minutes. Easily set up and aimed with removeable riflescope over distances up to 275 m. - just point and shoot. |
 |
 |
 |
 |
|
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
SECURE
Unlike traditional RF based wireless systems, laser transmission travels in a narrow beam (diffuses to a uniform 1 meter diameter at 150 meter). Your data cannot be compromised or listened to without direct interception of the laser beam. |

RELIABLE
The E BEAM utilizes Free Air Photonics over a Class One Infrared Laser. It is unaffected by rain, fog, heat or visible light. It is also immune to interference from radio sources, radiated noise from nearby electronics, ground loops, etc. Redundant signal paths can easily be established for ensuring fail-safe communications in critical applications. |
 |
 |
 |
 |
|
| |
 |
 |
 |
 |
PHOTONIC NETWORKING
Multiple units can be cascaded and branched into a working LAN. Beams can be pointed, transmitted, received and redirected at any angle without use of mirrors. The resulting bi-directional network allows signal transmission with add/drop points at any location. |
 |
 |
 |
 |
|
| |
 |
 |
 |
 |
COST EFFECTIVE
Although the E BEAM is not intended to totally replace structured cable, its implementation into a hybrid Ethernet/ fiber delivery system can greatly reduce costs associated with construction labor, conduit, termination and other issues encountered with hardwired systems.
• Connect buildings with VOIP systems to reduce line access costs.
• Share computer network resources throughout an office complex or building-to-building on campuses when obstacles prevent hardwired solutions. |
