Link buildings without digging

Point-to-Point WiFi Bridges to link buildings wirelessly

Connect an outbuilding, a second office, a gatehouse or remote cameras to your main network with a dedicated wireless link, without digging a trench.

A cable, without the cable

A dedicated wireless link between two buildings

Running a cable across a garden, yard or car park often means digging, lifting paving or crossing land you do not control. A point-to-point bridge does the same job through the air.

Two small antennas are mounted facing each other, one on each building, creating a private high-speed link. It is not normal Wi-Fi, so it is not slowed down by other devices. We check the line of sight, mount and align the antennas, and test the link speed before we leave.

FAQs

Point-to-Point WiFi Bridges questions

Straight answers to the questions we are asked most. If yours is not here, send us a message and we will reply.

From a few metres to well over a kilometre, depending on the equipment and a clear line of sight. We choose equipment to suit your distance.
Trees, especially in summer, can weaken the link. Mounting the antennas higher or choosing a different path usually solves this.
Yes. The link is private and encrypted, and it is separate from your normal Wi-Fi.
Yes. Bridges are often used to connect cameras on gates or outbuildings back to the recorder.
Yes. Each antenna needs power, usually supplied over the network cable from a PoE injector or switch.
