Ear Optical Link

The Ear Optical Link is a cilindrical optoelectronic transceiver connected to a user's Neural Implants, that is installed around a user's ear canal.

Developed along the first Neural Implants, its design allows direct communication with electronic devices while at the same time avoiding the hassles related to external cybernetic implants.

Installation and Inner Workings.
The first step to installation is to remove the natural pigmentation inside a section of the ear canal, to allow the free passage of light through the canal's walls. Additionally, a small array of nanoparticles is injected into that zone to allow further optical communication.

The next step to be performed is a small cranial surgery where a biocompatible optical transceiver membrane is attached to the outside of the ear canal. This membrane is connected through high-resilience optical cables directly to the Neural Implant's optical port.

Operation is straightforward: All communication is done using standard optical protocols. Diverse models of ear optical transceivers, aka "earphones" are available in the market for general and specialized purposes.

WARNING: Please refrain from connecting to unauthorized networks without a proxy phone or firewall implant; early versions of neural implants are still vulnerable to digital intrusion. Consult with your manufacturer for further details.

Operational Wavelengths and Bandwidth requirements

 * Input video and sensorial data is transmitted in the 410 nm wavelength (purple). Maximum data bandwidth is 350Tbps, but is kept to 287 Tbps for compatibility purposes.
 * Output video and sensorial data is transmitted in the 480 nm wavelength (blue). Maximum data bandwidth is 310Tbps, but is kept to 287 Tbps for compatibility purposes.
 * Input binary data and command sequences are encoded in the 680 nm wavelength (red). Maximum data bandwidth is 150 Tbps, but in practice, they rarely surpass the Gbps range.
 * Output binary data and command sequences are encoded in the 520 nm wavelength (green). Maximum data bandwidth is 255 Tbps.
