Wireless can be considered when buildings have a suitable line of sight and trenching fibre is impractical, disruptive or disproportionate to the requirement. Reliability, capacity, mounting, power, weather exposure and the long-term site plan still need assessment.
These links can suit campuses, farms, industrial sites, warehouses, temporary facilities and businesses with nearby buildings that need reliable connectivity. A point-to-point wireless link uses directional radios to carry network traffic between two locations. It can connect separate buildings, extend a network across a site or provide a practical alternative where trenching fibre is not possible.
