"The Laser" Optical Communications

 Laser/Optical Communications

Optical communications are already a thing, using infra-red instead of Radio Frequencies (RF). These are tightly focused infra-red beams.

You can transmit much more data through optical communications than through RF communications and you don’t need a license for optical communications.

Optical communications are much harder to intercept and decode.

Obviously to send and receive optical communications, your optical transceiver needs to be pointing in the right direction – line of sight comms once more.

And for a fun watch that includes laser comms, there is The Expanse, available on Amazon Prime, which was a series of excellent books first and foremost by James. A. Corey. Which is also available un-abridged on Audible.

See, you never know what you are gonna get here. Thats because im never sure what kind of rabbit hole I am going to go down!
