Wavesight is supporting Government needs for ever - increasing bandwidth, range and reliability with its latest generation of wireless and fibre solutions.

In the public sector the demand for high bandwidth connectivity for Local Government, Education, Healthcare and Community services is increasing at a near exponential rate. The UK Government’s ‘Broadband Britain’ campaign is just one example of the growing recognition of the value put on better Internet access, particularly in remote or rural areas. In towns and cities, metropolitan area networks (MANs) are allowing communities to access low cost Internet, jobs vacancies etc. while also assisting in distance learning for children and adults alike.

However, a major stumbling block, which has inhibited rollout in many areas, has been the cost and time associated with leasing lines or laying cable to provide access. ‘last mile’ access can be particularly difficult, with numerous permissions required where the cabling may cross private land.

Wavesight’s wireless technologies are an effective solution. Our WaveMAX outdoor wireless bridges are being used to quickly and cost-effectively provide high bandwidth access into communities, hospitals and schools. Systems Integrators and Installers are finding them quick to deploy, due to their ease of installation. The WaveMAX range is weatherproofed (beyond IP65) for outdoor use in all weathers down to –40c, offering very low maintenance overheads, for installers. Extensions to network pose no problems – Wavesight’s radios can be configured in point to point or multipoint mode for greater flexibility. Whole networks can be installed in days, not months, bringing forward much needed access for end users whilst allowing Integrators to cover more contracts in the same time.

In terms of cost, WaveMAX compares very favourably, with far lower ongoing costs after the initial investment. For Integrators, this means a very competitively priced solution can be offered, essential in tender situations - for the end user, the ability to get more for their broadband budget.

Benefits
