The effect of weather on free space optics communication (FSO) under tropical weather conditions and a proposed setup for measurement

Free Space Optics communications (FSO) has attracted a lot of attention for a variety of applications in telecommunications field. The unlicensed, higher speed, broader and unlimited bandwidth, low cost solutions, and shortest deployment time frame are some of the drive to deploy FSO. However, weath...
