Introduction
OptiPulse is building the next generation 6G communications with Optical Wireless forming potential market dominance with low cost, best-in-class performance and rapid deployment strategies all enabled by a new type of compound semiconductor light source.
We believe OptiPulse’s disruptive technology is superior to what the marketplace offers currently and can help realize 6G worldwide. OptiPulse’s products plan to span from high speed wireless gaming connections, to indoor LiFi connections, wireless data centers, middle mile distances to last mile (1-2 kilometers or less) user connections, to wireless cell phone connections. Chips have been clocked at 25Gbps in a single channel. Multiplex multiple channels could yield a single beam over 100Gbps. Photonic semiconductor chips produce a new type of light source that is highly configurable. This emitter is the ideal candidate to develop an all-optical meshed network with low cost and high-speed connections. The LightGrid™ products, which could change the industry, are licensing semiconductor chips, integrated circuit boards, data links, SmartPoles, and Managed Networks. Because of the patented technology (8 patents), OptiPulse can produce these at low cost. We can disrupt the industry with record performance, reliability, sustainability but appeal to affordability in the marketplace.
The platform nature is designed to reduce the risk for investors because the core technology can be applied to multiple markets immediately through evaluation kits.
"Our goal is to increase connection speeds across the board for all communications products, starting with in-home networking, gaming, and wireless data center developments."
Success To Date
- OptiPulse has designed and produced photonics chips for optical wireless demonstrations.
- OptiPulse sold first prototype to top social media organization.

Problem
Gaming, VR and many other applications require low latency, high bandwidth connections. Latency is inherent in many connections and is due to current switching and routing techniques and the number of nodes to your devices.
This new gaming center is planned to use demonstrated 10 Gbps optical wireless links to replace the cords and fibers that are required for high bandwidth links to gaming computers and platforms, VR head gear, and wireless data centers. The technology increases the download bandwidth of typical current wireless technologies by an order of magnitude enabling super high resolution displays with low latency connections.
Solution
A breakthrough photonic semiconductor chip has been invented, patented, fabricated, tested, prototyped and now ready for product development. A Near InfraRed (NIR) invisible light source creates an optical wireless 10Gbps single channel link which can be directed with an electrical signal proven in a successful NSF seed fund Phase I SBIR. With development, the technology can result in a disruptive low-cost, high-performance way to distribute communications infrastructure to any area or device. There are many applications that this “Wireless Technology” can be used for.
Business Model
We aim to provide evaluation boards and chips to Original Equipment Manufacturers OEMs to produce the products of tomorrow today. OptiPulse is a revolutionary photonics semiconductor company with a platform technology for many advanced product concepts.
Market
OptiPulse Inc. plans to launch a sustainable optical wireless market, building market share through its Value Proposition, but also enhancing the market by empowering customers and partners through its technology. OptiPulse’s smart pole is designed to enable rural communities to interact with the rest of the world via high bandwidth links. The optical wireless technology may also challenge fifth generation (5G) infrastructure models and space connections and may enable sixth generation (6G) technology – and maybe all future (Next G) generations.
Currently, slower wireless connections and higher priced fiber form the bulk of the world’s communications infrastructure installation products. With the planned LightGrid™ family of products, OptiPulse has demonstrated in the “LOS” market its technology is:
RF market:
- >10 x faster
- Uses much less energy to send each bit
- Can easily direct larger beam areas at receiver than LOS 5G making more stable link
- Arrays of Arrays directing beams enable theater control for communications at literal lightning speed
- Can Compete with RF MIMO
- More Secure and higher encryption
FSOC market:
- Non-Mechanical beam steering
- Ultra-low CSWaP (Cost Size Weight and Power)
- Order of Magnitude cheaper laser
- Much faster than FSOC performance
- Non coherent light sources advantages in atmospheric propagation
- Can be made eye safe
