Abstract: In our fast-evolving world, effective communication systems are crucial for seamless connectivity. This review paper delves into the details of Hybrid RF/FSO systems, which seamlessly blend Radio Frequency (RF) and Free Space Optical (FSO) communication technologies. The combination of these two innovative approaches offers an impressive solution to common communication challenges, such as achieving high data rates and ensuring robust security. RF communication is praised for its reliability in varied weather conditions, like storms and heavy fog. On the other hand, FSO technology stands out for its ultra-fast data transmission and enhanced security, making it tough to intercept by unauthorized persons. The Hybrid RF/FSO system capitalizes on the strengths of both, presenting a versatile and efficient communication model. By strategically toggling between RF and FSO channels, this hybrid system promises a resilient network that remains stable and swift, even under adverse conditions like foggy or rainy weather. As technology continues to shape our future, this review highlights how Hybrid RF/FSO systems are set to become a cornerstone of fast and reliable communication, bridging the gap between speed and security with finesse.
