No infrastructure? Still fast internet! In addition to the well-known connections via fiber, copper, or cable, there are alternatives that do not rely on existing infrastructure or physical lines. Besides 4G, a wireless point-to-point link is a great alternative for locations where 'landline' connections are difficult to establish.
As long as there is a line of sight, a wireless point-to-point link can achieve fiber-like speeds without the need for excavation work.
It is often assumed that fast internet automatically means fiber. Of course, fiber offers speeds of over 1,000 Mbps, but not every business requires this.
High speeds can also be achieved via VDSL or Viprinet when fiber is unavailable. However, there are still businesses where none of these connection types are available or sufficient. For those businesses, a wireless point-to-point link is the solution! Even without existing infrastructure, internet speeds of up to 1,000 Mbps can be achieved.
Line of sight is a crucial concept for internet connections via wireless point-to-point links. Just as traditional underground connections require you to be 'connected,' a wireless link requires that the receiver at your location has a line of sight to the nearest radio tower.
The maximum speed depends on signal strength, which in turn depends on how clear the line of sight is.
A wireless point-to-point link is highly reliable and can be set up quickly. In many cases, it takes only about 1.5 months from request to a usable connection. Additionally, it is flexible; speeds can be increased up to 1,000 Mbps, often within a few business days if the connection is already active.
If you move locations, the wireless point-to-point link can simply move with you, provided the line of sight remains sufficient. Finally, a wireless point-to-point link with a clear line of sight also offers very low latency. In short, a full-featured alternative to fiber!
We can advise you on this and other types of internet connections, and whether a wireless point-to-point link is the right choice for your business.
