Wireless bridges, a cost-effective and reliable way to connect multiple locations of a business.

Wireless Backhaul

A wireless backhaul is a connection between two or more wired networks. It is used to extend the reach of a network or to connect two networks that are not physically connected. They are often used in rural areas where it is not possible to run fiber optic cable.

Wireless PTP

This is a point-to-point connection between two devices. Wireless PTP is used to transmit data between two locations that are not physically connected. These type of connections are often used for video surveillance, point-of-sale systems, and remote monitoring.

Wireless Fiber

This is a type of wireless connection that uses fiber optic technology. A more expensive option than wireless backhaul or wireless PTP, however, it offers higher speeds and better performance. Often it is used for mission-critical applications, such as financial trading and healthcare.

Benefits of Wireless Bridges For Business Connectivity

  • Cost-effectiveness: A cost-effective way to connect multiple locations of a business, they are often less expensive than running fiber optic cable or leasing a dedicated line from an ISP.
  • Reliability: Wireless bridges are reliable and can provide a high level of uptime. They are not affected by weather conditions or other environmental factors.
  • Security: A secure way to help protect your data from unauthorized access. They use encryption to protect your data as it travels over the air.
  • Scalability: Wireless bridges are scalable and can be easily expanded to accommodate the growth of your business.

When to Use Wireless Bridges

Ideal for connecting multiple business locations, wireless bridges offer a cost-effective and reliable solution, especially in rural areas or for those hesitant about fiber optic cable installation.

Here are some additional considerations when choosing a wireless bridge:

  • Distance between the two locations: The distance between the two locations will affect the type of wireless bridge you need. For longer distances, you will need a bridge with a higher transmit power and a directional antenna.
  • Obstructions: If there are any obstructions between the two locations, such as trees or buildings, you will need a bridge with a higher gain antenna.
  • Environment: The environment in which the bridge will be deployed will also affect the type of bridge you need. For example, if the bridge will be exposed to the elements, you will need a bridge that is weatherproof. Once you have considered these factors, you can start to narrow down your choices and find the wireless bridge that is right for your business.
