N2 - This paper presents a new framework for long range Free Space Optical communication (FSO). Motivated by the ever-growing demand for communication in 5G networks, the suggested framework tackles the natural FSO link drawbacks, commonly: complicated installation, limited range, size and pricing. The new FSO concept assumes a 'best effort' model. It uses a new control and aiming mechanism for the Tx laser beam based on COTS components. This methodology is mostly suitable for urban FSO links but might also be applicable for both short range (IoT) and long range (satellite) communication. Based on simulations and preliminary field results we expect that such FSO links will be widely used in 'best-effort' 5G applications allowing an affordable alternative to fiber optics and standard FSO systems.
