Australian businesses, both big and small, now have access to Motorola’s new generation of EtherMux 20 MBps point-to-point microwave LAN radio technology, for super fast transmission of any kind of data over the air.
Gone are the days when standard business communications between remote sites required costly leased telephone lines and data lines.
Everything from email, fax and computer documents can now be sent via wireless transmission at much faster speeds than conventional technologies allow.
EtherMux holds endless possibilities for organisations and companies with more than one site, like Local Government or building and construction industries with sites on the move.
For companies wanting to deliver reliable and instant accessibility with major clients, an EtherMux system can be installed at each end to maintain all ongoing data communications, 24 hours every day.
Motorola’s technical support specialist, Trevor Thomson, said that the latest EtherMux technology means you can now set up offices up to 70 kilometres away from any operating centres and have all the functions available to your workers without the ‘hard-wired’ infrastructure.
Motorola offers two versions of the package – one for Ethernet data only, and the other for Ethernet data and two or four telephone lines.
This guarantees split data and voice transmissions, so you always get through, whether it is telephone, internet or fax, incoming or outgoing.
To run the system, which simply comprises a microwave dish at each site and single wall mounted units, all you need is a ‘line of sight’ path between two external antennas fitted at the designated offices and facing one another, with no obstructions from obstacles like trees and solid structures.
For long range links up to 70 kilometres, a 7.5 Ghz frequency is used. A circularly polarised antenna is used for links over water and a linearly polarised antenna for over land.
On a 10.5Ghz frequency, short range transmission travels up to five kilometres and does not require a licence. Councils with facilities spread throughout the municipality can take advantage of its speed, flexibility and low cost compared to conventional communications.
