How IrishWireless.net can make creating a Point to Point Wireless Bridge Link as simple as fitting it to the wall, running a cable and just plugging it in!

"Overview"
The purpose of this website is to demonstrate how to create a long distance wireless link between two geographically seperate locations using the products available below. There are many reasons why you wish to create such a link, whether you are connecting two offices networks together or perhaps just creating a link to your friend down the road IrishWireless.net provide fully preconfigured solutions so all you have to do is worry about fitting the link in the correct location.

Although our solutions focus on linking two locations together using directional antennas linking multiple locations together using omnidirectional antennas is very similar and we suggest you drop us a line should you require such a solution instead.

We have categorised below different equipment that can be used in various scenarios and hope to give you a guideline on which is best for your requirement. However you need to first ensure that the link is feasible:

The ideal conditions for linking multiple locations together wirelessly can sometimes be often frustrating to achieve. In order to determine if your locations are suitable for linking with wireless you will need to consider the following factors:

"Line of Sight" is an important factor. THE important factor. If you are unable to see one end of the link from the other it is likely that the link will not work, depending of course on what is in the way. The wireless signal will not go through mountains, hills or large obstacles such as buildings. With every object the signal must pass through, its strength is diminished and what is left may be completely unusable. Landforms such as mountains will stop your signal dead in its tracks, dont even bother if there is a landform in the way. Vegetation will also reduce your signal markedly. If the link is a short one, say less than a kilometre you might get away with a few trees in the way however when it rains they will hold moisture which may stop your link from working until they dry out. In the very least tree's can cause problems. Very dense vegetation will stop your link in its tracks. A successfull wireless link requires you to be able to see one antenna from the other, even if you need a telescope to do so.

"Background noise or Interference" can be caused by many different devices. There are many things that use the 2.4ghz spectrum, cordless phones, remote controlled toys, other wireless networks and even doorbells can provide interference that can degrade your links performance. Avoiding interference from other networks is not too difficult unless you are in a very densely populated area, which if so we suggest using our 5GHz products instead.

How far will it go?
As you can see from above, the range of your wireless link is determined by many very variable factors. We like to measure link distances on the basis of 100% clear Line of Sight. Our products range from 2-3km up to 120km if you have deep enough pockets!
