Availability modeling of terrestrial hybrid FSO/RF based on weather statistics from tropical region

Free-space optical (FSO) communication links are point-to-point wireless technologies. It provides high data rates up to gigabit per second. FSO link availability is easily affected by different weather conditions. Radio-frequency (RF) can be a complimentary link to the FSO link to increase the a...
