SystemSupportSolutions, Inc. is MRV Communications' North American distributor for MRV TereScope® Free-Space Optics solutions.
MRV is the premier Free-Space Optics technology leader. The TereScope® product line is an optical wireless system for data, voice and video transmission. With over 8000 links deployed worldwide, MRV and SystemSupportSolutions, Inc. have more experience installing and servicing this equipment than any other Optical Wireless source.
MRV TereScope® fixed wireless systems provide the most comprehensive FSO wireless solution, ranging from short link distance to as long as 5km, and from T1/E1 and 10Mbps Full duplex up to FastE, GigE, and soon even 10 GigE ultra-high bandwidth links.
TereScope® provides ultra high bandwidth using a technology similar to that found in fiber optics communications, providing full wire-speed data rates using optical signals. In addition, the narrow and invisible laser beam makes it the most secure wireless solution, nearly impossible to intercept.
TereScope® systems, without the need for right-of-way or government permits for installation, provide a rapidly-deployable license-free technology.
The TereScope® family provides cost-effective, high-speed wireless connectivity for a variety of applications, including:
- Enterprise connectivity
- Voice and Data
- Video and Entertainment
- Telco Bypass
- Disaster Recovery
- Surveillance and Government
- Backhaul for wireless mesh
Whether you need narrowband voice and/or broadband data, MRV TereScope® FSO links provide scalable, wireless solutions at fiber speed.

Operating at data rates of 1.5 Mbps all the way up to Full Duplex 10 Gigabit speeds (RF manufacturers would call this 20Gbps aggregate!), TereScope® deployment is fast, without requiring right-of-way or government permits for installation, providing you with flexible high bandwidth and secure communication. The TereScope® family of products can provide service providers or enterprises with the data rate, performance and reliability needed in a communications network.
Benefits include:
- Ultra High Wireless Bandwidth — The
TereScope series can provide for 1 Mbps to 10.0 Full Duplex
Gbps wire-speed connectivity for distances of up to 6.7 km
(depending on throughput and availability requirements).
- Most Secure Wireless Transmission — The
beam that transmits your data is very narrow and invisible,
making it nearly impossible to intercept.
- License free operation — No need to
obtain frequency licenses for the operators of TereScope®
FSO wireless solutions
- Versatile Protocol — Compatible for
better investment protection FSO links work with a variety
of protocols. Protocols such as Ethernet, Fast Ethernet,
Gigabit Ethernet, FDDI, ATM, and ESCON can all be
transmitted through TereScope® without issue.
Using industry standard network interfaces and a clear
upgrade path for higher bandwidth protects your investment
in MRV TereScope® solutions.
- Safe to Use All — TereScope®
systems are eye and skin safe at the aperture and meet all
the safety standards including the IEC60825-1 Class 1M
standard.
- Major Cost Savings — With TereScope
links, you own your Gigabit bandwidth. Avoiding the
recurring costs of leased lines and licensing costs, your
return on investment can be realized in just a few months.
- Reliable Communication — Several
TereScope® products use patented multiple
transmit apertures to ensure high performance under adverse
weather conditions. The receivers are designed to overcome
atmospheric noise in hot or cold weather. And MRV's
very unique Fusion
redundancy feature provides 100% average
availability.
- High MTBF — All TereScope® systems are extremely reliable with an MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures) of more than 10 years.

Typical Free-Space Optics deployments pictured above include point-to-point, multiple point-to-point, and mesh.


The above chart displays the approximate
costs for full duplex 10BaseT, FastE and GigE links at distances from 10
meters to 6000 meters. You will observe that GigE is the real
bargain with FSO technology (compared to FastE, 10x throughput
for little more cost).
When selecting the appropriate model for a specific application, there are a number of critical considerations that need to be accounted for. SystemSupportSolutions, Inc. specializes in assisting with both model selection and deployment support.
