Overview

This case involves two corporate factories with a straight-line distance of approximately one kilometer. Under normal circumstances, it is difficult to plan the cabling layout for cross-factory environments, which requires the rewiring. Using wireless networks to expand coverage can significantly reduce the effort and cost of initial deployment and subsequent management and maintenance. 

Deployment

In this case, Z-COM uses two high-power outdoor wireless access points for point-to-point (PTP) wireless high-speed transmission which can reach several kilometers so that the distance is no more a problem. They are installed on the rooftops or high places of the two corporate factories. By testing the height and angle of the network signals, and avoiding obstacles and environmental interference, there is no delay in receiving the original wireless network signals from the remote wireless access points. The two buildings share a broadband connection and resources, which can easily bridge the nearby branch network with limited budget and meet the needs of various environments to extend network signals. Through on-site testing, the network bandwidth consumption is minimized, effectively maintaining various connection qualities, and providing more enhanced and innovative services for enterprise network applications.

Achievement

Z-COM provides a secure and stable outdoor wireless access point solution in wireless bridge mode. It can transmit high-quality signals steadily and over long distances. Besides, it is able to be managed remotely and has abilities of self-detection and self-healing. With low power consumption capability, it can be easily and quickly deployed and used together with other equipment, meeting the requirements for connectivity equipment in factory parks, community buildings, campus areas, tropical and humid climates, and lightning strike areas. The equipment complies with IP67 certification and level 14 wind tunnel testing certification, and can effectively operate in high-risk or extreme climate application environments. With a comprehensive network planning, Z-COM provides enterprise real-time network services.
