Company Plans To Demonstrate First-Ever 10 Gbps Hybrid Radio Frequency (RF)-Controlled And Free Space Optics (FSO)-linked Proprietary Technology

Airborne Wireless Network's FAA Designated Airworthiness Representative (DAR) recently received approval from the FAA to coordinate the Company's proprietary 10 Gbps Hybrid RF-controlled and FSO-linked flight testing.

The FAA approval enables the company to proceed with the modification and installation of its Infinitus Super Highway equipment onto two Cessna 172 flight test aircraft. In addition, the FAA has provided concurrence with the proposed flight test routing and flight test operating area.      

"This is a significant milestone for the company as it will be a first-of-its-kind demonstration," said Michael Warren, CEO of Airborne Wireless Network. "The goal of this demonstration is to test how quickly the company's patent-pending algorithms can resynchronize the optical link and transfer large data files.  Our sophisticated software technology will be used to take thousands of samples and calculate the precise location of each aircraft assigned to the mesh network. We think of our FSO technology as fiber optics without the fiber."

Since its initial May 31, 2017 RF test flights, AWN has expanded on its original U.S. Patent No. 6,285,878 B1 and has worked to increase the precision of its aircraft-locating abilities, which the Company intends to verify in this demonstration using proprietary predictive algorithms.
