Pemantulan cahaya matahari oleh cermin atau dikenali sebagai heliograf adalah kaedah awal komunikasi optik wayarles (OWC). Sewajarnya, sistem komunikasi moden mendedahkan kadar data yang tinggi di samping kualiti perkhidmatan yang lebih baik berbanding kaedah terdahulu. Sistem komunikasi optic wayarles mempunyai banyak kebaikan dimana ia adalah penting untuk sistem daratan, sebagai contoh penggunaan Optik Ruang Bebas (FSO) di kawasan luar. Di dalam kertas kerja ini, gambaran dan pencirian prestasi sistem Optik Ruang Bebas seperti pelemahan, kadar bit kesalahan (BER), faktor Q dan jenis pengesan yang berguna untuk pengesanan dalam sistem FSO dibentangkan. Sistem telah direkabentuk dan disimulasi untuk perincian prestasi dengan mengambil kira kawasan Subang.

The reflection of sunlight by mirrors or known as the heliograph is an early method of optical wireless communication (OWC). Naturally, modern communication system reveals much higher data rates with better quality of service (QoS) compared to those ancient methods. There are many advantages of OWC which are important for a terrestrial system for example the usage of an outdoor free space optics (FSO) system. In this paper, a description and system performance characterization of the FSO such as attenuation, bit error rate (BER), Q factor and the type of detectors that are highly useful for detection in FSO systems are presented. The system are designed and simulated for performance characterization considering Subang terrestrial.
