Recommendation for a 100m PtP link ?

Fri Apr 12, 2019 11:43 am

Hello,

I'm working on a new project for which I must provide Internet access services to users living in two different buildings.
I can get FTTH lines on main building but I can't get any FTTH line in secondary building.
Both buildings are close to each other (<100 m) with clear Line of Sight when considering properly located wireless dishes on each building roof.
Weather is rather sweet: no snow but heavy rains happen.

I can try to install a fiber between both building but using Wireless Point-to-Point bridge seems more attractive.
My requirements are:
- get as much throughput as possible, above 500Mb/s if possible
- service continuity
- VLAN, 802.1p.

Maybe, I'll install one IP phone in secondary building if it has a chance to fully works.

My questions are:
1. What would you recommend for this ? Wireless Wire Dish seems to fit.
2. Is a good idea to install two different radio links (one in 5GHz and one in 60GHz) ?
3. Shall I expect above 10% performances variations during rains or when the wind blows ?
4. What kind of throughput/latency can I hope ?
5. Shall I plan to have someone climbing back on the roof from time to time, after initial setup or is it something that can run for years ?
6. Suggestions ? Comments ?

Best regards

The new 60hz products seem well suited for your application.
Small form factor great throughput, you could probably connect up several pairs of devices providing separate inputs into the second building IT infrastructure

With a slightly bigger budget, this unit is probably overkill but excellent for a one pair solution

I forgot to mention it in my original post but when writing it, I had this Wireless Wire Dish in mind.
In secondary building, I expect 50 connected students during prime time (18:00 to 23:00).

Would you back a 60GHz link with 5 GHz one in an active/passive or active/active setup ?

For <100m, you don't even need 5GHz backup. Just go with a Wireless Wire Dish kit.
