Point-to-point wireless network

Al Jammal said the IT team decided on implementing a wireless point-to-point solution . After considering options and conducting due diligence and evaluating a number of wireless solutions vendors , the IT team narrowed it to InfiNet and another vendor .

“ After some initial comparative testing , it was apparent to us that the performance of InfiNet Wireless ’ solutions was unrivalled . The deciding factor for us was the ability of the InfiNet Wireless solution to provide reliable high bandwidth connectivity in harsh conditions and over large distances ,” he said .

He explained that after some initial comparative testing , it became evident to the company that the performance of InfiNet ’ s point-to-point solutions were unequalled . “ What settled the matter conclusively for us was the ability of the InfiNet solution to provide reliable high bandwidth connectivity in harsh conditions and over large distances .”

Point-to-point wireless network links two locations together through line of sight ( LOS ), operating in unlicensed / licensed radio frequencies or through free space optics . He explained that it was clear that the Tamer Group upgrading its wireless infrastructure was going to be critical for the future growth of the business . “ One of the big obstacles we faced was the typography and the distance between out head office and the remote branches . Many of the remote sites are about 30 to 40km apart ,” he noted .

Al Jammal added that deploying a wireless network that was reliable and stable in these unforgiving conditions was at the top of the team ’ s priority list . “ At the same time , we needed to ensure that the new wireless network could provide high bandwidth that would not only support the existing business needs , but also be future proofed for demand over the next few years ,” he said .

Point-to-point wireless solutions are most cost effective than leased line and offer better speeds ,
