Leased Line Replacement

Due to competitive market pressures, businesses are increasingly looking to IT departments, to improve productivity and control costs. Businesses are recognizing the many advantages of utilizing high-capacity wireless links to replace fiber or aging copper-based leased lines, both in terms of cost and network performance.

On the cost side, GigE wireless links provide a rapid return-on-investment, relative to the costs of leasing high-speed circuits. A GigE wireless link can provide fiber-like speeds and latency, for a one-time expenditure of about two-thirds of the annual cost of leasing an equivalent fiber-based service. Wireless GigE links also eliminate the initial installation costs for fiber services that may be needed in many cases when new fiber runs need to be constructed.

In addition to the significant savings, gigabit wireless links also provide increased capacity and a ‘future-proof’ network. Transmission rates provided by these gigabit wireless links mean that the backbone will remain free of bottlenecks as application capacity needs grow. These millimeter wave GigE wireless links provide full-rate, non-blocked gigabit throughput speeds with latency comparable to that of an Ethernet switch, yielding a fiber-equivalent backbone link that is perfect for transporting real-time applications such as video and VoIP.

Business Continuity

The resiliency, reliability and security of information technology and communications infrastructure are essential to the productivity and in some cases, profitability of enterprise, service provider, and government networks, including municipal applications.  Businesses cannot afford interruptions or tolerate any downtime caused by natural forces or man-made disasters and must be doing their utmost to minimize the impact of such a calamity. Existing telecommunication connections, especially for sensitive applications, should have some form of redundancy which allows secondary transmission paths to become available instantaneously should the primary path fails due to ground-based or any other disturbances.

simaxcom highly-reliable 60 GHz and 80 GHz wireless links provide carrier-grade availability and secure connectivity as backup for existing fiber paths.

Suited for backhauling high capacity data, voice and video streams, simaxcom low latency wireless links are fast, easy to install and can be deployed within a single day.

Cornel University and Buncombe County are two examples of organizations that selected simaxcom gigabit wireless links to harden their network and ensure real-time data access.

CONSIDERING WIRELESS? CONCERNED ABOUT WIRELESS NETWORK SECURITY ISSUES?

Businesses have several technology choices for transmitting data between buildings or sites. Although wireless technology typically costs less and is faster to deploy than wired alternatives, concerns about the security of wireless connections have often made people think twice about deploying these solutions. Indeed, there have been well-publicized reported data security breaches associated with wireless LAN systems, and the idea that wireless signals may be able to be received at locations other than just where the desired receiver is located can certainly raise fears regarding data security.

simaxcom Secure Enterprise Wireless Solution

simaxcom Communications offers point-to-point wireless bridges in the millimeter wave spectrum at 60 GHz and 80 GHz, providing full Gigabit Ethernet communications. Operating in these upper millimeter-wave frequency bands enables cost-effective multi-gigabit operation (due to the large spectrum allocations) and, in addition, mitigates the traditional security risks associated with lower-frequency wireless transmissions platforms. As frequency increases, antenna beamwidths decrease, so with even a compact, one-foot 60 or 80 GHz antenna, the radio beamwidths are on the order of one degree or less! The extremely narrow beam widths effectively provide virtual pipes between the ends of the links, making signal interception or jamming virtually impossible.

The Strongest Encryption Available Today

Beyond the exceptional physical layer security, simaxcom provides an additional layer of security by offering built-in 256-bit AES data encryption – the strongest encryption commercially available. This is an ideal solution for organizations that require all sensitive data leaving their buildings or sites to be protected by the strongest encryption standards available. simaxcom provides the highest capacity millimeter wave systems today. Coupled with the built-in AES, simaxcom provides you with the most secure wireless system in the marketplace.
