XWLAN Wi-Fi

XWLAN Solutions

XWLAN uses several different wireless technologies to provide a ‘bridge’ between two or more locations, over distances up to 20km. Alternatively we can supply high bandwidth Internet Service Provision where it is not currently available.
These technologies include satellite broadband service provision, free space optical high bandwidth connectivity for voice and data, and wireless local area networking using the 802.11 standard.

Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs), are fast taking over from copper (CAT5/6) as the option for connecting PCs together in the office or at home. Because of the low cost and extremely fast implementation, this technology is set to become the new standard in local area network (LAN) connectivity. This solution is ideal for clients who need a fast and cheap installation, or where the building does not lend itself to installing large amounts of structured cabling – a listed building is a good example. Hot desking environments also favour this type of connectivity for PCs, allowing laptops to ‘roam’ to different desks or rooms within the building. Obviously, the same roaming ability is provided in a WLAN installed in the home.

XWLAN has taken this technology further, and by enhancing the antennas and access points, greater distances can be covered. Connections of 10km or more are possible where a clear line-of-site is available. And obviously shorter connections are relatively easy to plan and install. This allows businesses that want to link their main office with their warehouse several kilometers away with a very quick and cost effective solution to their data and voice needs. As the link is constant, the vagaries of VPN connectivity over the Internet can be bypassed. Internet Service Provision and file and print services can be shared conventionally – as if there was a cable between the two sites.

Where a broad area of coverage is required XWLAN also offer an omni directional Access Point. This allows college campuses or rural villages to form WLANs and connect and share data and services such as Broadband Internet. This in turn cuts the cost of ownership of such services by the number of participants, or allows such a connection to be shared with a large number of people over a wide area.
