Point-to-point wireless and outdoor WiFi

Two radios, one at each end, aimed at each other so they work like a network cable through the air. Your second building joins your main network as if it were wired.

With a point-to-point wireless link: one radio at your main building and one at the other, with a clear line of sight between them. Send us photos from each end looking toward the other, and we'll tell you if a link will work and what equipment it needs.

A point-to-point (PTP) link connects exactly two locations, like your office and a warehouse across the road. A point-to-multipoint (PTMP) network uses one central radio, usually on a tower or rooftop, to connect several locations at once, like every building on a campus or every WiFi access point across a campground.

Anywhere from a few hundred feet to well over 10 miles, depending on the equipment and the path between the two ends. Distance is rarely the hard part. A clear line of sight usually matters more.

For a reliable link, yes. The two radios need a clear view of each other, with some extra room around that straight line too. Trees, hills and buildings are the usual problems, which is why we ask for photos from both ends before designing anything. Mounting height often solves it.

Modern links can carry anywhere from a few hundred megabits per second to multiple gigabits, depending on the equipment, the distance and the frequency. We size the link to what you actually need to move, with room to grow.

It can. Very high-frequency links, like 60 GHz, can slow down in heavy rain, so for those we design in a backup frequency that keeps the link up. Standard 5 GHz links handle weather well. Wind matters too, so we make sure radios are mounted solidly.

Usually your own staff or a local installer, and we coach them through mounting and aiming the radios. Then we handle the configuration and tuning remotely. If you'd rather have us on site, we can do that as well.

It depends on the distance, the path and the equipment, so every project starts with a design and a parts list. Our time is billed from prepaid support hours, and we estimate the hours up front.

Yes! We troubleshoot existing links all the time: slow speeds, dropouts, interference, alignment problems and outdated firmware. Most of it can be diagnosed remotely.

We can set one up, but we usually recommend against it. When a login page won't load on some guest's device at 10pm, they're going to call the office for tech support. A simple guest WiFi password, with guests kept separate from your own network, is easier on everyone.

Yes. We design WISP networks and set up UISP to manage them, and you handle your subscribers and billing however you like.

We pick the best equipment for the job and your budget. Most of our outdoor work uses Ubiquiti's UISP lines, including airMAX, LTU and Wave, along with UniFi building bridges, and we work with TP-Link Omada too.
