Wireless links between buildings and sites
Connecting buildings and remote sites when fibre is unavailable or impractical, after route and capacity checks.
Operating outcomeA link option assessed for the site conditions
The system problem
A wireless link starts with line of sight and a link budget.
Distance is not enough. Terrain, interference, height, weather, capacity and availability determine whether PTP or mmWave fits.
- 01Line-of-sight and route checks
- 02Capacity and availability planning
- 03Installation, alignment, testing and monitoring
Design decisions
What to validate before selecting radio equipment
Capacity
Current traffic, growth and latency sensitivity.
Continuity
Resilience, monitoring and the impact of degradation.
Delivery path
Survey
Map the existing environment, constraints and failure points.
Design
Define architecture, coverage, capacity, permissions and scenarios.
Deploy
Install, label, test and integrate against the approved plan.
Handover
Deliver system records, training and a clear lifecycle plan.
Handover
A link that can be understood and monitored
Testing and monitoring outputs depend on vendor, topology and requirements.
- 01Location and alignment records
- 02Link and capacity settings
- 03Alignment and acceptance results
- 04Agreed access and monitoring route
Questions before a decision
Questions worth resolving before the equipment list.
Explore the complete knowledge centreWhen is wireless preferable to fibre?
When wired deployment is unavailable or impractical and path validation shows that requirements can be met.
What is the difference between PTP and mmWave?
They are technology families with different frequency, capacity and range characteristics. Selection follows design.
