Point to Point Links
Wireless Point-to-Point Microwave Bridge Links
Microwave Point to Point can be tailored to suit the needs and requirements of all applications
Point to Point links are transparent, acting as an extension of the Ethernet backbone or segment. Licensed Microwave is fully compatible with the Ethernet standard, and supports all Ethernet functionality and applications.
Point to Point Microwave has been the connectivity choice for Telecom carriers, corporate organizations and Government authorities for many of years. Point to Point Radio offers high speeds, high availability over large connection distances, it can be relied upon to carry voice and data traffic in several bandwidth-intensive applications, such as:
- Connecting locations that are unavailable or in poor Broadband areas
- Private data Networks (WANs, LANs, etc.)
- Utility Networks (Railways, Pipelines, etc.)
- Last Mile access for Corporate, SMEs and Local Government
- Connecting buildings and facilities over large distances
- Microwave P2P – Ideal replacement for Fiber Optics and Leased Lines
Point to point wireless is the ideal alternative for business communication between two buildings or sites where wired connection is either impossible, costly or impractical. Point to point Ethernet bridge link facilitates a wireless data connection between two or more networks or buildings across distances up to 62 miles at speeds up to 1Gbps.
Point to point wireless links are an excellent alternative to fiber optics and leased lines, providing businesses with fiber-like speeds for high-speed data, voice and video transfer between business locations.
Asking an expert team to assist with your point to point wireless requirement will ensure you get a well-designed Microwave Link solution and expertise to help you and your business to benefit from high-capacity, low-latency, long distance wireless data transfer.
Long Distance Point to Point Wi-Fi
Wi-Fi is sometimes used for outdoor links – with directional antennas – despite the Wi-Fi radio protocol not being optimized for long distance links. Instead, customized airside protocols on dedicated outdoor radios are far better for security, throughput and link stability.
Point to Point Ethernet bridge
A point to point Ethernet bridge link can benefit your business through the elimination of leasing lines or subscription-based systems with no loss in performance. Providing highly reliable connections, point to point wireless offers a far lower total cost of ownership and has the versatility of deployment within rural, metropolitan and residential environments.
Whether you are looking to achieve high-speed business networking or to provide wireless backhaul for CCTV connectivity, point to point bridges are the best option.
Where line-of-sight (LOS) exists between two points, point to point bridge pairs can be set-up and installed with the minimum of disruption to your business and can usually be completed within a single day. The ease of install and the resilience to harsh weather conditions make point to point bridge links a viable fiber alternative.
Operating in both licensed and unlicensed spectrums, our point to point solutions ensure that your business has the network uptime and performance for mission-critical data transfer – our links offer 99.999% uptime.
Broadcasting, construction or military environments often require temporary wireless connections. The simplicity of point to point Wi-Fi makes it the perfect solution where temporary wireless connection is required between two points.
Licensed or Unlicensed Point to Point Microwave Links
When selecting the correct point to point wireless link for your business, there are several important decisions to be made to ensure that the outcome meets the initial expectations. Point to point microwave links can be either licensed or unlicensed, both of which have a specific set of capabilities, advantages and disadvantages, the main one being their relative susceptibility to interference-free operation.
For businesses seeking a wireless backhaul which will serve as a direct replacement for leased lines, licensed microwave links – which operate within the ‘licensed’ 4-42GHz bands, – will provide superior bandwidth availability, speed and the interference protection necessary.
Although offering no guaranteed interference protection, unlicensed microwave links which operate in the ‘unlicensed’ frequency bands, either typically in 2.4 or 5GHz bands can provide a more cost-effective option as they eliminate any additional costs and can be rapidly deployed.
