Benefits of wireless links

Wireless links allow network connectivity with no need of a physical channel or wired  network to send or receive signals. This allows to simplify the connectivity in large or difficult  access areas. Wireless connections are ideal in areas where internet services or data  transfer are deficient

Benefits of wireless links:

• Network communication, internet, video, IP telephony for a company, or any place that may need corporate solutions in these applications.
    
• Rural areas connectivity in which internet providers have no coverage
• Shared telephony extension lines and virtual links 
• File, internet, or applications sharing
• No need of physical wiring.
  
• Economic and simple installation
• Great coverage for large areas 
• Greater movement freedom between interconnected nodes 
• Allows a combined connection: wired and wireless. 

Types of wireless links

Multipoint links: a link point-to-multipoint refers to the capability of connecting several devices to a single device. This can be achieved through special antenna where a point functions as “the main point” or “multipoint,” which can establish links to many other sites or “points.”

Some applications for these kinds of networks are:

Link subsidiaries to compare databases, internet access, and voice over IP networks implementation, to lower costs in communication between subsidiaries, surveillance of campuses (universities), industries, residential areas, and even entire cities with mobile units.

Point-to-point links: a link point-to-point allows to connect two different areas that be close or not to each other through special antenna that require a specific orientation, height, and correct configuration to ensure good performance.

With point-to-point links, a point may reach long distances (10 km) and will be able to enjoy a safe and efficient connection.
