HOOTS stand for High Output Optical Talk Set. HOOTS series fiber optic talk sets use our light source technology to convert your voice into optical signals, and provide full-duplex communications using a pair of terminated optical fibers. These talk sets are reliable alternative to wireless communications systems used within a premise environment due to their electromagnetic immunity.

We designed the HOOTS Series to be economical in order to be sold as an alternative to walkie-talkies. Optionally, they can be embedded as a permanent part of a fiber network installation. Use them during the installation for end-to-end voice communications, then after installation leave them attached to a spare pair of optical fibers inside the fiber patch panel.

This way, the HOOTS can be used by Information Technology (I.T.) personnel for communications whenever operations or management functions need to be done in the fiber cable closet. There are several advantages to using a fiber talk set versus walkie talkies. The first advantage is when I.T. personnel are setting up voice or data optical equipment, they maybe give away password and secret net addresses over unsecure walkie-talkie channels to a nearby neighborhood of listening ears! The second advantage is that everyone is buying these cheap walkie-talkies from the local discount stores. It’s getting much more difficult to find free channels over the air waves. The third advantage is the noise and walls in effects of EMI/RFI.

Four models are available: HOOTS 850 and HOOTS 1330 for communication over Multimode fibers, and Laser HOOTS1310 and Laser HOOTS 1550 for Singlemode fibers. Each set comes with a headset and headset adapter. Hard-shell carrying case, protective rubber boots, carrying straps, 9-volt batteries, NITS-traceable certificate of calibration, and CD-ROM with operations manual.
