Attochron Secures $15M in Series A Funding to Revolutionize Optical Wireless Communications

Attochron, the pioneering developer of revolutionary free-space optical communication systems, has successfully raised $15 million in funding to further advance its innovative ultrashort pulse (USP) laser technology. This significant investment will enable Attochron to enhance its proprietary free-space optical (FSO) systems, which uniquely utilize short coherence length pulses to mitigate the adverse effects of atmospheric conditions like 'scintillation.' As the only company capable of achieving carrier-grade specifications with its FSO technology for distances exceeding one mile, Attochron addresses the critical challenge faced by carriers — providing scalable backhaul and enterprise access solutions where traditional fiber installation is financially unfeasible. With its robust intellectual property portfolio and a cutting-edge multi-gigabit Ethernet demonstrator system, Attochron is well-positioned to meet the growing demand for high-capacity links in telecommunications. The funding will be instrumental in accelerating development and deployment efforts, enabling the company to tap into key markets for backhaul and enterprise access, which encompass underserved areas such as the 'other 50%' of cell towers, 75% of small to medium-sized enterprises, and 95% of multi-dwelling units. Notably, Attochron has already showcased its technology in challenging environments, including the dense fog of the Blue Ridge Mountains in Lexington, Virginia. As telcos around the globe grapple with the need for reliable, high-speed connectivity, Attochron stands ready to deliver cutting-edge solutions that promise to reshape the telecommunications landscape.
