Why should you go wireless?
If you operate from a number of different locations, or need to find a temporary connectivity or redundancy solution, a wireless link can prove to be a more cost-effective solution than a leased line.
Wireless links can be used not only to connect all types of telecommunication systems, but also to interconnect your corporate network, including voice telephony.
When can a wireless link be used?
Distance
Wireless links can operate easily at distances up to around 40 kilometres, as long as there is a direct line of sight between antennas linking the connection points. Links over greater distances require antennas mounted on tall masts or high buildings because of the Earth's curvature.
Capacity and reliability
Wireless links with bandwidths up to and over 155 Mbps are perfectly feasible. Equipment redundancy combined with a service contract can guarantee continuous operation, avoiding any risk to your critical business processes.
However, a few extreme meteorological conditions can cause power outs usually lasting no more than a few seconds. Typical user interfaces employed for wireless links include V.35 for nx 64kbps, nx E1, E3 and 3x E3, STM-1, nx STM-1, 10/100BaseT and Gigabit Ethernet.
Applications suitable for use over wireless links
- Wireless links can offer solutions where a network connection is needed over distances of up to around 40 kilometres. They are particularly effective when used for large bandwidth networks.
- Multiple office sites/locations:
ideal for linking 2 or more sites up to around 40 kilometres apart. - Glassless sites:
A wireless link can be more cost-effective and faster to set up in sites not yet equipped with fibre optic cabling. - Redundant links:
Business-critical systems require redundant connectivity. Should a cable fault develop or a breakage occurs, e.g. due to excavation works, a wireless link can provide an alternative pathway.
