Collinear has been working with Lockheed Martin Space Systems under an exclusive licensing and development agreement, introduced in June 2014, to commercialize a hybrid point-to-point wireless transmission product developed by Lockheed Martin Space Systems that incorporates innovative Free Space Optical (FSO) and Radio Frequency (RF) technologies. The agreement grants Collinear exclusive non-governmental sales and marketing rights on a global basis.
Global internet and mobile data usage is growing, and data transmission technologies are facing the challenge of addressing this increasing demand for capacity cost-effectively and efficiently. Applications for point-to-point wireless transmission products include mobility, fixed and mobile infrastructure, the Internet of Things, automotive, software-defined networking, and mobile and fixed wireless repair.  
Collinear is integrating its networking technology with this hybrid solution, which Collinear expects will offer advantages in the areas of capacity and distance; network intelligence with an integrated switch to deliver features that support the transition to new architectures, such as 5G and software-defined networks; and low-cost deployment compared to existing technologies.  
Collinear plans for the technology's size and weight to allow a single technician to install it on an existing network infrastructure. Collinear predicts the technology will complement or replace existing wireless infrastructure, significantly increasing capacity while eliminating the need for expensive and difficult fiber deployment.
