750 Mbps Backhaul Link
In the city of Villavicencio in Colombia, the company ADN SYSTEM had been experiencing high demand due to great growth in the area, as well as the pandemic had forced the use of more dedicated internet services. They had factors that compromised them to generate higher quality networks, such as the availability of technologies that in some cases are very uncompetitive (easy to acquire) in Colombia, as well as there are mountain ranges that do not help achieve good quality links since they make the areas very competitive. When looking for a robust solution, the company consulted on the recommendation of a brand in SYSCOM Colombia, the combination of NetPoint and Cambium Networks antennas. The panorama, as mentioned by Engineer Ian Pineda, was not the best since the city has developed and a lot of demand has been generated as well as great interference in the areas as shown in the previous study:
The installation process
Our process, like that of many, begins with the selection of the product to use based on its capabilities and our needs. This entire research process is totally necessary to carry out a correct implementation of the equipment within our organization. That is why for this specific case we selected the 30 dBi NetPoint NP1 antennas to be used together with Cambium PTP 550 equipment, ideal for operating as a Backbone within a Network.
The results of the implementation
Something that can be highlighted about the NetPoint antennas is that their assembly process is relatively easy and that they have focused on obtaining very light hardware so that in simple infrastructures they do not add much weight. Additionally, we can see that the antenna behaves very well in all bands, it is very stable allowing to obtain very good alignment values, another of the characteristics was the antenna that allowed excellent modulation to obtain 750 mbps, taking full advantage of the PTP550c cambium channels with zero loss.
Levels of alienation
