Create a Wireless Loop in a
New Geography
The Challenge:
When a fiber optic loop isn’t available, it’s tremendously expensive and difficult to install one around an existing urban area – or into rural communities. Service providers investigating new markets and sources of income face business justification hurdles in order to authorize new projects, and once approved, it could take years to secure right-of-way for trenching fiber through streets and forests – which costs millions of dollars.

The Solution:
Building a new network loop and creating a Metropolitan Area Network doesn’t have to be done with fiber optics. Highspeed, carrier-class Proxim wireless equipment builds regional broadband connectivity in a fraction of the time at a fraction of the cost. Service providers secure access rights for several tower sites rather than miles of fiber optic cable. Equipment costs are lower, and easier to repair, upgrade, and maintain. Wireless connections also give service providers the flexibility to offer many different service plans on a single MAN. Once established, Proxim last-mile solutions link the MAN to enterprise, government and home customers.
