Yes, a correctly designed point-to-point link can carry normal business network traffic between locations. The expected applications, throughput, latency, security and resilience should be matched to the selected hardware and radio path. These links can suit campuses, farms, industrial sites, warehouses, temporary facilities and businesses with nearby buildings that need reliable connectivity.

2026-07-16 What must be confirmed before the radios and mounts are selected?Required capacity, line of sight, mounting permissions, frequencies, equipment, power and the need for redundancy should be confirmed after a physical survey. Pricing, availability, specifications, compatibility, lead times, service coverage and support arrangements can change, so decision-critical details should be confirmed directly with Pacific Telephone & Data.
2026-07-15 Why is a rooftop line-of-sight check important?The design should check clear line of sight, distance, mounting height, obstructions, radio interference, weather exposure, power, network capacity, structural mounting and access for future maintenance. Pacific can inspect both ends, verify the path, select suitable supported hardware, mount and align the radios, configure the network and test the completed link.
Buildings, terrain, trees, new structures, misalignment, interference and an inadequate mounting position can weaken a directional link. The path needs more than a casual visual check because the radio design and surrounding clearance also matter.

2026-07-14 What is a point-to-point wireless network link?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. Pacific can inspect both ends, verify the path, select suitable supported hardware, mount and align the radios, configure the network and test the completed link.
2026-07-14 When can wireless be used instead of trenching fibre?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 us…
