Connecting Sites Wirelessly
Over recent years the market has seen an ever-increasing demand from both the private and public sectors, to utilise wireless technologies to connect remote sites onto a LAN/WAN.
A Skyline solution eliminates the need for fixed cable or service provider WAN links requiring potential cable digs and the associated excess charges usually expected from a carrier. Furthermore, these services can normally take extended periods to schedule and deliver, whereas the Empowered Skyline service can typically be delivered and installed in less than 2 weeks from point of order.
The return on investment “ROI” is usually under 18 months. The link hardware is owned by the customer, not the carrier, meaning the customer is not tied into lengthy contracts with cancellation charges [unlike a fixed term service].
What is Skyline?
A network link between 2 or more sites with an unmatched 99.999% availability, using either RF (Microwave or MMWave Radio) with data rates ranging from 10Mbps to over 2Gbps depending on the technology used, distance and obstacles between the sites.
The Skyline package includes:
A Desktop Survey
which is undertaken free of charge including a path profile assessment, to determine if a link is viable;
