Long Range Wireless Link Radios

At RfWeL we specialize in long range wireless data/video/voice transmission for various applications including SCADA/M2M, Video Surveillance Backhaul, Data Network Backhaul & Network Bridging Solutions.

Overview

System	Typical Application
Point-to-Point		Best for long range high speed link. Typically Line-of-Sight (LOS) or Near-Line-of-Sight (nLOS) more

Point-to-Multipoint		Best when multiple client nodes need access to a central node. Also hub-and-spoke architecture. A main central node communicates with several remote nodes. Typically Non-Line-of-Sight (NLOS) more

Mesh Networks		Best when you need a redundant wireless network that can self-configure and self-heal (when a node in the mesh is down or slow the mesh re-routes to a different path). You can easily add a node and the mesh reroutes using the new nodes and finds the best path based on pre-determined criterion (e.g highest throughput, lowest latency, most reliable path etc) more

4G WiMax		Allows high capacity using advanced antenna techniques, OFDMA air interface & space-time modulation and coding (MIMO). These radios also fall under the point-to-multipoint category above. In the U.S two categories include: Licensed Mobile WiMax 802.16e at 2.5GHz (Sprint, Clearwire) and Lightly Licensed Fixed WiMax at 3.65GHz more

Quick Jump Selection Guide

Note that the suitability of the radios selected really depend on the individual site link budget. Different sites have different interference environments, obstructions and other RF noise. Contact us to learn how to perform a proper RF site analysis and link budget analysis which will help predict with some confidence if the radio will work for you.

Throughput	Range
Throughput	<200 m (660 ft)	<500 m (1650 ft)	<1 km (3300 ft)	<4 km (2.5 mi)	<10 km (6 mi)	<70 km (45 mi)
<1 Mbps					Avalan AW900XTR, 900MHz	TrangoLink-10 PTP
<10 Mbps						TrangoLink-10 PTP
<45 Mbps	Engenius EOC-5610, ECO1650, EOR7550 or Pepwave PPW-400					TrangoLink-45 PTP 5GHz
<100 Mbps
<150 Mbps
<200 Mbps	Proxim QuickBridge 60250, 60GHz
<300 Mbps					Proxim Tsunami QB-8100, 5.8GHz	Motorola PTP600
<1000 Mbps (1 Gbps)	Proxim Gigalink 6451, 60GHz		Proxim Gigalink 6651, 60GHz	Proxim Gigalink 7451, 70GHz

Note that we have shown what radio works best at that maximum range or speed but any radio can be used for any range to the left of it or any speed above it. Typically cost increases as you go right and down.

Implementing a long range high speed wireless link is a non-trivial exercise. Various engineering tradeoffs must be considered not only in selecting the frequency band (licensed vs unlicensed) and channel bandwidth but also when deploying the link. Antenna mast & tower constructions, cables, lightning suppression, environmental factors, regulatory limits on RF emission, city ordinance, power availability etc must be addressed. Contact us to discuss your application. Our experienced team will custom-build your design using the best-in-class equipment and industry best-known-methods. We are a Licensed Low-Voltage Wireless Communication contractor (Arizona ROC#253407) should you need deployment assistance.
