Point to Point Bridges

Wireless network technology offers so many opportunities. Take point to point bridges for instance. Voice and/or data traffic can be transferred from a cell site, located remotely, to a central site. This type of “backhauling” is often used in association with video surveillance and mesh broadband networks.

About Point to Point Bridges from BearCom

Equipment and devices that provide for two or more networks to talk to each other wirelessly, over great distances, are called point to point bridges. More often than not, these networks are in different buildings. With proper antennas and line of sight bridges, distances of up to 30 miles can be spanned.

Additional Information about Point to Point Bridges

Wireless point to point bridges are often connected to wired networks through an Ethernet port. Data is then replicated to remote network bridges or access points using 802.11a/b/g wireless (Wi-Fi) protocols. The simplest of installations is point to point—one building or facility to another, requiring one wireless bridge in each location.

More Data about Point to Point Bridges

To get the most out of your network resources, multiple point to point bridges for different buildings and sites can be installed. This is often referred to as multiple topology. The root bridge is at the main location. This also called the base station bridge. All voice and data goes through the root bridge first.
