Wireless Wide Area Networks

In the same way that broadband internet has revolutionised communication, private fixed wireless systems from WG&R are revolutionising the way that it is now delivered.  In a nutshell, it's faster, more reliable and cheaper too.

Unlike the traditional method that uses fibre technology delivered through cables, wireless broadband requires no costly and time consuming digging up of roads or countryside.  Instead it uses the latest radio-wave technology to transmit broadband content at greater speed over land.

What's more, thanks to its much greater bandwidth, it can handle loads more data and applications - up to 155Mb or even 1Gb - making it the perfect delivery system for both now and in the future.

How it works

The following diagrams illustrate a typical configuration of a fixed wireless system (see diagram 2), plus a simplified demonstration of how wireless broadband is transmitted over distance.  Wireless broadband technology can be delivered from around 2Ghz up to 60Ghz and the distances between points can be extended using repeaters that link together masts, as illustrated in diagram 1.

Planning the design of the system is crucial to its effectiveness and 75% of our time is spent at this stage with the remaining 25% being taken up by installation.  Using advanced mapping software that shows the exact location of every mast, we first study the terrain in order to arrive at the most accurate path calculation.  This involves use of GPS technology as well as visual line-of-sight test, the checking of Ordnance Survey maps, and the measuring of terrain above sea level.
