Wireless Point-to-Point Internet
P2P Internet delivery systems
Principles of operation
Point-to-Point (P2P) wireless technology is a high-performance method for delivering high-speed internet between two fixed locations without the need for physical cables like fiber or copper.
How It Works
The system utilizes a line-of-sight (LoS) wireless link. A primary source (the "Access Point") is connected to a high-speed Internet source (Xplore 5G as an example). This station transmits a focused microwave or radio beam to a highly directional "Station" antenna located at the client’s premises.
Transmission: Data is converted into radio frequencies (typically in the 5GHz, 11GHz, or 60GHz bands).
Reception: The receiving antenna captures the signal and converts it back into standard Ethernet data for a local network or router.
Key Components
To ensure a stable and fast connection, the system relies on specialized hardware:
Transceivers: High-gain radios that handle both sending and receiving data.
Directional Antennas: Focused "dish" or "panel" antennas that concentrate the signal into a narrow beam to minimize interference.
Mounting Infrastructure: Towers or roof mounts that provide the necessary elevation to clear obstacles.
Core Advantages
Rapid Deployment: Unlike traditional cable trenching, which can take months, P2P systems can be installed and activated in a matter of days.
High Throughput: Modern P2P links can deliver speeds ranging from 100 Mbps to 10+ Gbps, matching or exceeding fiber performance.
Low Latency: Because the signal travels at the speed of light through the air with minimal hops, latency is often lower than traditional satellite or LTE connections.
Cost-Effectiveness: It eliminates the massive capital expenditure required for digging and laying underground cables over long distances or difficult terrain.
Ideal Use Cases
P2P systems are the preferred solution for environments where traditional infrastructure is unavailable or too expensive:
Rural Properties & Farms: Connecting remote homes to a central hub or establish connection between main house and the barns/shops/guest houses.
Business Campuses: Bridging two office buildings into a single high-speed network.
Temporary Sites: Providing robust internet for construction sites or outdoor events.
WISP Distribution: Helping Wireless Internet Service Providers distribute bandwidth to entire communities.
What to expect on the installation day
Your transition to a high-speed wireless connection is a straightforward process. Our professional technicians handle the technical complexities to ensure your system is optimized for peak performance from the moment it goes live.
Pre-Installation Site Survey
Upon arrival, the technician will perform a final site survey. This involves identifying the best mounting location on your roof, balcony, or tower to ensure a clear line-of-sight to our nearest distribution hub.
Obstacle Check: We ensure there are no trees, buildings, or geographical features blocking the signal path.
Safety Assessment: We identify the safest route for cabling and mounting hardware.
Hardware Mounting & Alignment
Once the location is finalized, the technician installs the outdoor antennas.
Precision Alignment: Using specialized software and signal meters, we align the antenna to the exact degree. Even a slight deviation can affect speeds, so we prioritize a "perfect lock" on the signal.
Secure Installation: We use heavy-duty brackets designed to withstand local weather conditions, including high winds and heavy snow.
Cable Routing & Entry
A high-quality, shielded Ethernet cable (CAT5e/CAT6) is run from the outdoor antenna into your building.
Weatherproofing: We use drip loops and silicone sealant at the entry point to protect your property from moisture.
Neatness: Cables are secured along the exterior walls or tucked into conduits for a professional, low-profile appearance.
Internal Setup & Power
Inside your home or office, the technician will complete the final connections:
PoE Injector: A Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) adapter is installed. This small device (24V/48V/56V depends on the equipment) sends power up to the outdoor antenna and data down to your router through a single cable.
Router Configuration: We connect the system to your WiFi router and ensure the settings are optimized for the new high-speed link.
Speed Test & Quality Assurance
Before leaving, we perform a series of tests to guarantee the quality of your connection.
Throughput Test: We verify that your download and upload speeds match your service plan.
Latency & Jitter Check: We ensure the connection is stable for video conferencing, gaming, and streaming.
Client Walkthrough: The technician will show you where the equipment is located and explain how to perform a simple power cycle if you ever need to reset the connection.
Installation Checklist for You:
Access: Ensure the technician has access to the roof or mounting area and the room where the router will be located.
Decision Maker: An adult (18+) should be present to approve the mounting location and cable entry point.
Timeframe: A standard installation typically takes between 2 to 4 hours, depending on the complexity of the cable run.
Related equipment
To deliver fiber-like speeds through the air, we utilize industry-leading wireless technology from Ubiquiti. By leveraging the 5GHz and 60GHz spectrums, we provide high-capacity, low-latency links tailored to the specific distance and bandwidth requirements of your location.
60GHz Multi-Gigabit Solutions
For short to medium distances (up to 2km) where maximum speed is a priority, we deploy Ubiquiti airFiber and GigaBeam 60GHz technology. This frequency operates in the millimeter-wave spectrum, providing massive throughput with virtually zero interference.
Performance: Capable of 1 Gbps to 2+ Gbps symmetrical speeds.
Best For: Business campuses, high-density urban links, and high-bandwidth backbone connections.
Key Feature: Often includes a 5GHz radio as a "failover" to ensure connectivity remains stable even during extreme weather events.
5GHz High-Performance Links
The 5GHz band is our "workhorse" for longer distances and challenging terrain. Using Ubiquiti airMAX AC and LTU technology, we can bridge gaps of several kilometers while maintaining rock-solid stability.
The PowerBeam & LiteBeam: Integrated directional antennas that focus the signal toward our towers, reducing noise and increasing range.
The Rocket Series: High-power base stations paired with sector antennas for distributing internet to multiple clients from a single point.
Best For: Rural residential connections, farm monitoring, and long-range point-to-point links.
Precision Mounting & Protection
Hardware is only as good as its installation. We use professional-grade accessories to ensure the longevity of your equipment:
Precision Alignment Mounts: Heavy-duty steel mounts that allow for sub-degree adjustments, crucial for the narrow beams of 60GHz systems.
Shield Kits: Metal shrouds that protect the radio from RF interference (noise) from other nearby devices, ensuring your "pipe" stays clean.
