Wireless Broadband Access
Whatever you choose to call it – last mile, first mile, local loop – the meaning is the same: it's the part of the telecommunications network that provides users with broadband wireless access (BWA).
As total broadband access subscriber rates and usage rise by leaps and bounds each year, service providers and municipalities of all kinds and sizes are facing a challenge: addressing customer and resident demands, respectively, for quick service delivery and high-speed network access – wherever they may be – at a low cost. The price associated with customer acquisition costs and ongoing last mile maintenance puts additional pressure on service providers to find new ways to cost-effectively deploy broadband access services to large numbers of customers.

Point to Point Wireless
As enterprises extend their networks beyond the confines of walls and buildings, point-to-point, wireless Ethernet systems have become more widely utilised to bridge IP traffic – especially across spaces that are too difficult or too expensive to bridge with wires. Whether the requirement is to link separate loops within individual buildings, communicate between buildings or link networks in a campus setting, enterprises increasingly turn to wireless Ethernet as the preferred solution.
Point to Multi Point Wireless
Point-to-Multipoint solutions deliver scalable, interference-resistant, high-speed connectivity to multiple residential, business, institutional and municipal locations. The platform combines exceptional reliability with robust performance, scalability, multiple layers of security, ease-of-use, accelerated deployment and remarkable affordability.
Mesh Networking
Mesh networking technology enables users to wirelessly access broadband applications seamlessly - virtually anytime and anywhere. Whether providing wireless access to a campus, municipality or residential neighbourhood. Mesh solutions deliver real-time data to employees, customers or constituents. Mesh networking technology significantly reduces the backhaul costs of wide scale networks and leverages millions of WiFi enabled devices already deployed globally.
