Wireless bridges are installed on or near appropriate buildings, and linked to your existing LAN infrastructure. Installation of a wireless link is quick and relatively simple. Wireless also offers equal or better performance, security and reliability to cabling. Data rates for various wireless bridges range from 1.1 Mbps to a gigabit, and distance between buildings can exceed 40 miles.
Progent offers expert wireless consulting to help you plan, implement and maintain point-to-point and point-to-multipoint wireless bridges that allow you to integrate multiple buildings into a seamless network.
IEEE 802.3 Wireless Bridges
For connecting two buildings up to 6 miles away, companies such as Proxim offer weatherized IEEE 802.3 wireless bridge solutions that are 20 times faster than a T1 line and can be installed in minutes.
Wireless Ethernet bridges are reliable, secure and easily-deployed solutions for interconnecting corporate and telecommunications networks. Point-to-point wireless Ethernet bridges provide transparent, carrier-class connectivity with performance options ranging from 11 to 960 Mbps. This makes it possible to integrate VPN, realtime video, Voice-over-IP, and digital PBX connections over a single wireless network.
Point-to-multipoint wireless Ethernet systems can connect multiple remote sites to your network, offering an economical way to interconnect campus buildings and security systems, integrate detached business sites, or install last-mile connections. Point-to-multipoint systems range from 11 to 60 Mbps capacity in both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz license-exempt bands.
Progent can help you design, select, test, deploy and maintain secure wireless building-to-building bridges that integrate transparently into your IT network while offering a level of security that equals or exceeds wireline connections.
