Wireless networking from WIN replace expensive leased lines to provide fast, secure connectivity for data voice and video to remote buildings and locations around the area.

The term Multi-Point refers to the need to extend a network from one location to several remote locations. Point-to-multi-point.

Point-to-multi-point connectivity can be achieved by using a number of point-to-point links, fanning out from one central location. However it is normal to use specialist Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) equipment especially designed for the purpose

Technologies used in our wireless Multi-Point solutions include

2.4GHz. DSSS

• Provides an ideal low-cost point to multi-point solution where clear line of sight between the base station and subscribers.
• Ideal for community broadband in rural areas where a Point of Presence is then extended to a number of subscribers around the village, town or area.
• Antennas are usually of two types – omni-directional and sector type, typically 60 – 120 degree beam width

5.8GHz OFDM

• Ideal for higher data rate applications and where there is no clear line of sight between the base station and subscribers.
• Used as the back-bone connection to multiple wireless ‘Hot-spots’ around the town or area
• Used to deliver community-wide broadband in urban and rural areas where a Point of Presence is then extended to a number of subscribers – typically businesses around the town or area.
• Antennas are usually sector type, typically 120 degree beam width
• Can deliver both IP Ethernet data and E1 voice
