POINT TO POINT WIRELESS

IP NETWORK SYSTEMS

Many organisations require connectivity between their headquarters, branch offices and other stakeholders such as suppliers and customers. With the adoption of converged services like video, voice and data these remote connections often require both increased bandwidth and also quality of service to safeguard data for time sensitive applications.

Whilst some of these services are available using modern WAN technology such as MPLS, they always come at a premium both in terms of the installation costs and the ongoing rental costs. Despite being delivered as a copper pair or fibre, these connections are normally only given a contractual SLA of 99.97% availability.

These expensive leased lines can often be replaced by a single capital cost wireless bridge link which will normally provide more bandwidth and greater availability (99.995%). In most cases the ROI compared to a leased line can be as little as 12 months.

There is no substitute for correct and proper planning when it comes to the specification and subsequent installation of hi-speed point to point links, regardless of whether they are unlicensed or licensed. Due to the often business critical nature of such links it is essential that the link is going to work and operate at the required data rate and availability.

IP Network Systems perform extensive planning of each point to point even before the customer has been provided with a price for the hardware.
