Extend your business broadband to any remote location
Point-to-point wireless links carry your existing broadband to an outbuilding, yard office or remote site, with no trench to dig. We choose unlicensed or licensed equipment to suit the job.
Unlicensed or licensed: the right link for the application
No two sites are the same. Some links just need to be quick and cost-effective. Others carry business-critical traffic and need a protected frequency. We recommend the right type after a site survey.
Unlicensed
Licence-Free Links
Fast to deploy, cost-effective
Best for outbuildings, farms, yards, short to medium distances, and sites where a quick, low-cost connection is the priority.
How it works
Unlicensed links use licence-exempt radio frequencies, so there is no licence to apply for and they are typically quicker to install. We choose the channel, antenna and alignment to avoid nearby interference.
The business advantage
A quick, cost-effective way to extend your broadband. These frequencies are shared with other users, so we check the radio environment at survey and design in extra margin.
Licensed
Licensed Links
Protected, dependable performance
Best for business-critical connections, long distances, and busy areas with lots of other wireless links.
How it works
Licensed links use a frequency reserved for your link under a fixed-link licence, so other users can’t interfere with it. The licence is arranged as part of the project, and the link is designed around the licensed channel.
The business advantage
Protection from interference gives you more predictable performance and reliability for the applications your business depends on. It takes a little more time and cost than an unlicensed link.
Choose unlicensed if…
the link is short to medium in length, speed of install and cost matter most, and a small risk of interference is acceptable.
Choose licensed if…
the connection is business-critical, the distance is long, or the area is crowded with other wireless links.
Pricing depends on distance, equipment and licensing. We quote after a site survey.
A pair of outdoor radios, one at each location, pointing directly at each other. They carry your network traffic between the two sites, so a remote building can use your existing broadband without a cable running between them.
Do both locations need a clear line of sight?
In most cases, yes. Trees, buildings and hills can block the signal, so we check the path at survey and can mount the equipment higher if needed.
How far can a link reach?
From a few metres across a yard to several kilometres. The distance depends on the equipment, the frequency and the terrain, and we confirm what is achievable at survey.
What speed will the remote site get?
That depends on the equipment and the spectrum used. We size the link to your needs, and the remote site shares the speed of your main broadband connection.
When do I need a licensed link instead of an unlicensed one?
If the connection is business-critical, covers a long distance, or sits in an area with lots of other wireless links, a licensed link gives you a protected frequency. For most outbuildings and short links, unlicensed equipment does the job.
Does an unlicensed link need a licence?
No. Unlicensed links use licence-exempt frequencies, so there is nothing for you to apply for.
Will weather affect the link?
The equipment is built for outdoor use, and we design in extra margin for Irish conditions. We take weather into account when choosing the frequency and equipment.
Can you connect more than one remote site?
Yes. As well as single point-to-point links, we design point-to-multipoint networks, where several sites connect back to one location.
