MicroTethers

What is it?

MicroTethers by Linden Photonics are a specialized class of ultra-lightweight hybrid tether cables designed to deliver both power and high-speed fiber optic data through a single, very thin cable. They are engineered for environments where weight, size, and reliability are critical.

They are used for:

  1. Rural broadband / WiFi deployment
  2. Security at sports events and concerts
  3. Defense and tactical surveillance
  4. Industrial and infrastructure inspection
  5. Emergency response & disaster recovery

Who is using it?

  1. Defense & Military 
  2. Public Safety & Law Enforcement
  3. Telecom & Connectivity Providers 
  4. Event Security & Broadcasting
  5. Energy, Utilities & Infrastructure
  6. Industrial & Robotics
  7. Research and Scientific Research

How is it making an impact?

MicroTethers and tethered systems are unlocking capabilities that were previously limited by batteries, wireless bandwidth, or physical constraints.

  1. Turning short-duration drones into persistent systems
  2. Enabling reliable, high-bandwidth connectivity anywhere
  3. Making aerial security and monitoring continuous

24/7 aerial surveillance, real-time, high-definition video over fiber safer, controlled tethered operations, lowers labor costs, inspection time, and operational risk
