Free Space Optics

Free-space optical links that survive the real world

KORUZA sends data through the air on an eye-safe infrared beam: fibre-class speed, nothing to intercept from the side, no spectrum to license. We build it into machines, docking stations and rooftop links for industrial, medical and telecom customers.

Why KORUZA

A collimated, eye-safe infrared beam carries your data through the air — with the throughput of fibre and none of the trenching.

Light-speed networking

1 to 100 Gb/s, on the same SFP transceivers you already run in your fibre network. Shipping today at 1 and 10 Gb/s; 25 and 100 Gb/s are in development.

Short, mid and long range

From a few centimetres inside a machine to a kilometre across a city. One optical core, three head sizes.

Ultra-secure and reliable

A narrow line-of-sight beam cannot be sniffed from the side, and 15 to 21 dB of link margin at 150 m keeps it up in rain, snow and light fog.

License-free

The optical spectrum is unregulated. No spectrum fees, no permits, no coordination with anyone.

Built for integration

Open hardware, open firmware, modular by design. Build it into your own product or run it as a stand-alone unit.

Products

One technology, many form factors

From rooftop-to-rooftop city links down to millimetre-scale docking connectors, plus a modular platform for everything that does not fit a standard product. Every variant shares the same optical core and the same upgrade path.

KORUZA PRO

Fixed and medium-range outdoor links

The outdoor unit with motorised alignment, weatherproof housing and optional lens heating. It addresses fixed or medium-range links up to about 150 m, with special configuration reaching up to 1 km — for building-to-building connections, 5G backhaul and industrial telemetry that has to survive years of thermal movement and weather.

  • Range Up to 150 m (1 km special)
  • Environment Outdoor, weatherproof
1 Gbps10 Gbps

KORUZA MINI

Compact links from 1 to 10 m

A compact 12 mm optical head for on-machine and in-enclosure use. It replaces drag-chain cabling across a controlled motion gap and carries data across a docking interface, with no connector pins to wear, corrode or misalign.

  • Range 1–10 m
  • Environment Indoor, in-enclosure
10 Gbps100 Gbps

KORUZA MOD

Configurable modular platform

For customers who need a specific FSO capability rather than a fixed product. A mechanically aligned baseplate carries plug-in modules, so the optical path, data rate, range, tracking, control and packaging are all selected around the application. A MOD configuration can be delivered as a development platform, as a configured kit, or as the basis for a custom-designed product.

  • Range Configurable
  • Environment Configurable

KORUZA MOD-Q

QKD integration and field-test platform

A configurable free-space optical platform for integrating and field-testing third-party QKD transmitters, receivers and key-management systems, with optional high-speed classical data transport, alignment, tracking and environmental monitoring. MOD-Q supplies the optical path and the physical layer; the quantum source, detection and security proof come from a QKD partner.

  • Environment Configurable
Where KORUZA is used

Four sectors account for most of what we build.

Industrial machinery

  • Communication on fast-moving machines where cables fail
  • Very high speed data transmission
  • Immunity to electrical noise

Defence and aerospace

  • RF-free operation
  • High bandwidth, adaptive line of sight
  • A directional beam that does not radiate into the surroundings

Telecom

  • Redundant path alongside fibre
  • Last-mile connectivity
  • Modular implementation

Medical

  • High level of data security
  • High-resolution camera feeds
  • No radiated emissions into sensitive equipment

Who the platform is for

Next-generation FSO products

You are designing an FSO product and would rather start from working optics, tracking and control than from an empty bench.

Advanced industrial demands

You need a high-bandwidth link that works on a moving platform or outdoors in weather, and no standard product fits.

Universities and research labs

You do research in optics, robotics or high-speed communications and need a platform you can take apart, change and put back together.
