●  Laying cables is not always possible or desireable
●  Wireless LAN is an ever growing sector, but radio waves cannot & should not always be used
●  Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) may render a WLAN useless
●  WLAN signals  can be captured by others, which could be a problem
●  Optical point to point communication by LASER is secure but requires very complicated solutions for non-stationary applications
●  advICo developed a state-of-the-art receiver system for a free-space optical communication system
●  Low-cost, low noise, high sensitivity, small size
●  Adressable like a memory
●  Linear analog receiver array
●  Bandwidth >2MHZ
●  Programmable gain 0.5-1MOhm
●  Low input noise <0.25nA RMS
●  Soft gain roll-off to 200kOhm to expand dynamic range while allowing metering
●  75000 devices full-custom on 2cm²
●  Flipped photodiode
●  Neighbourhood search (track moving signal) & quick-scan mode
●  For optical long distance point-to-point communication
