An Air Bridge Wi-Fi provides a reliable point-to-point or point-to-multipoint wireless connection between two or more locations, typically up to 3 kilometers (1.8 miles) apart.
Here's a breakdown:
-
Point-to-Point Connection: An AirBridge can create a direct wireless link between two devices (a master and a satellite). This is useful for connecting buildings, extending a network to a remote location, or providing internet access across a physical barrier.
-
Point-to-Multipoint Connection: One AirBridge master unit can connect to multiple AirBridge satellite units. This allows you to create a network where a central location can provide wireless connectivity to several other locations.
-
Distance: AirBridges are designed to operate over relatively long distances compared to typical Wi-Fi routers. The 3 km (1.8 miles) range allows for connections where running physical cables would be impractical or expensive.
In summary, an AirBridge Wi-Fi solution offers a long-range wireless networking option that enables reliable connections between geographically separated locations without the need for physical cables. It is commonly used to extend networks between buildings, provide internet access to remote areas, and create wireless backhauls.
