Data Rates
WIN describes wireless networking data rates as a net or useable data throughput.
This is a more useful way of describing the data rate of a radio than as a gross or ‘through the air’ data rate, often quoted by manufacturers.
Data rates vary across the range of technologies and frequencies. The following data rates are a selection of those we can deliver; when connecting:
- The Backbone
- Distribution (Point to multi-point)
- People
- Vehicles
In the Backbone network infrastructure.
For example, Connecting two locations together. (Point to Point wireless
networking)
- 20 / 40 / 100 / 155 / 295 / 622 / 1,000 Mbps
For the Distribution network. Extending one central network location to several remote locations. (Point-to-Multi-Point wireless networking)
- 2 / 5 / 10 / 12 / 20 / 48 Mbps
When connecting People on the move to the network.
- 2 / 5.5 / 20 Mbps
- Note: As our wireless solutions are scalable and modular, it is possible to deliver up to 190Mb of aggregate data rate to any area. This means that many people can connect to the Internet or corporate network at high speed
When connecting IP network to Vehicles on the move
- 5 / 10 / 20 / 48 Mbps
Note: These are shown as net or useable data throughputs and should not to be confused with the gross or ‘through the air’ radio data rates.
