Not only is a license required to install and use free space optics (FSO), but it costs significantly more than installing new fiber optic cables or leasing lines from a local carrier.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Free Space Optics (FSO) technology does not require a license because it uses beams of light, typically lasers, to transmit data wirelessly through the air, avoiding the need for physical cables or the regulatory hurdles associated with radio frequency spectrum licenses. Additionally, FSO can be more cost-effective in certain scenarios compared to installing new fiber optic cables or leasing lines, especially when considering the avoidance of excavation costs and right-of-way issues.
