 Transmitslightratherthanelectrons

 Transmissionovergreaterdistances(morethan2Km[1.25mile])

 Completeelectricalisolation

 ImmunitytoRFIandEMI

 Eliminatesgroundloopproblems

 Canberoutedoverhead,throughwalls,orunderground

 Avoidsfoottrafficwhilemaintainingaesthetics
