Abstract:
A fully-automated SDN-controlled real-time operation of a hybrid Fiber-Wireless 10Gb/s FSO and 5Gb/s mmWave link across 7km-fiber and 0.5m-radio distance resilient at all weather conditions is experimentally presented, supporting 25mus beam-switching and zero-touch hard handover via tunable SFP+ transceivers and simple all-passive 1x2 C-/O-band diplexers.
