Abstract

FSO (Free Space Optics) systems offer significant technical and operational advantages such as higher bandwidth, robustness to electromagnetic interference, high degree of spatial confinement and low power consumption. These systems use unregulated optical frequencies from 300 GHz to 300 PHz including infrared, visible and ultraviolet bands. In comparison to RF based systems, FSO units can operate license free. FSO systems are directed over a number of estates in the typical operation. This paper will focus on FSO systems and related law problems of FSO beams crossing (private) properties with regards to the situation in Austria.
