Top Growth Drivers in the Free Space Optics (FSO) Industry: What's Accelerating the Market?
The progression of 5G networks is set to spur the rise of the free space optics (FSO) market. 5G, the advanced generation of wireless cellular technology, offers improved capacity, dependable connections, and swifter upload and download speeds compared to its predecessors. The upscaling of 5G hinges on the rising demand for quick and reliable data connectivity, a need fueled by the mass use of smartphones, tablets, IoT devices among other connected tech products. Free Space Optics (FSO) has the capability to be utilized by 5G networks for high-speed data transmission, presenting an alternative to conventional fiber optics, particularly in metropolitan areas with high network demand. The capacity of FSO to facilitate data transmission through free-light signals supports the 5G network's aim for super-fast, low-latency connectivity. For example, 5G Americas, a trade organization based in the US, reported that as of September 2023, North America recorded an impressive 5G penetration rate of 40%, a growth rate of 25.5% during the first half of 2023. Predictions suggest that North America's 5G connections will hit a noteworthy 669 million by 2028. Thus, the upscaling of 5G networks is a central factor driving the free space optics (FSO) market's growth.

What Trends Will Shape the Free Space Optics (FSO) Market Through 2029 and Beyond?
Major operators in the free space optics (FSO) market are prioritizing the creation of high-tech products providing superior bandwidths, such as tactical free-space optical communication systems, to cater to the increasing requirements for quick and secure data transfer. Tactical free-space optical communication systems are technologies that use optical signals sent via free space (i.e., air) to create communication links amongst tactical entities like military units, vehicles, or unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). For example, in May 2023, a well-known aerospace and defense firm in the US, RTX Corporation, unveiled the NexGen Optix. This is a tactical free-space optical communication system intended to enable quick, secure data transmission even under challenging conditions. The corporation developed a system providing increased bandwidth in a design that is compact, lightweight, and energy-efficient, outperforming conventional optical systems. The NexGen Optix uses laser technology instead of radio frequencies for communication, thereby reducing the risk of detection, interference, and jamming.
