WAVEBRIDGE®
Goes Sky-High
Plaintree’s free space optic products have a well-earned
reputation for providing reliable wireless communication solutions to clients
with unique needs but never before had WAVEBRIDGE ®
reached such heights.
In the winter of 2007, Montal Professional IT Solutions
encountered a particularly challenging situation trying to establish a wireless
connection for one if its clients. Using Plaintree's WAVEBRIDGE®
products, it was able to literally, rise above the problem.
The issue was establishing line of sight between buildings
located in Birmingham, England where the wireless connection was being set-up
for the client, the local Housing Association.
Operations Manager for Montal, Paul Rogers, engineered the
project. He said it took a day of project management to come up with the idea
and implementation process and then only a day to install the product.
The solution was to mount the WAVEBRIDGE®
FSO product on a 20 foot pole and install it 40 feet above the ground. The
challenge was then handling the weight of the pole with the product mounted at
the end.
