Point-to-point links

No cables, no building work

With a point-to-point link we connect two buildings or warehouses by radio, whether they are separated by a street, a yard or even several kilometres. It is a quick, affordable way for two sites to share internet, files, cameras and phones without digging trenches or paying for a second line.

Point-to-point links

What is a point-to-point link and why does it matter?

A point-to-point link connects two buildings using a pair of antennas that can see each other. Instead of laying a cable or paying for a second fibre line, the signal travels through the air from one antenna to the other, and both sites share the same network as if they were in the same building.

It is a very useful solution when digging trenches is expensive or simply impossible: a street in between, land that isn't yours or a distance of several hundred metres. With a clear line of sight between the antennas, these links can span anything from a few metres to several kilometres at speeds comparable to a wired network.

An example you probably know

Think of a campsite or hotel on the Costa Brava with reception in one building and the bungalows, restaurant or pool spread across the grounds. Running cable to every point would mean costly works, but with point-to-point links the whole site can share the internet connection, security cameras and booking system. It is the same technology many providers use to bring internet to villages and rural areas that fibre has not yet reached.

How we work

  • We visit both locations to check there is a clear line of sight between them and measure the distance.
  • We choose the right antennas and frequency for the distance and speed you need.
  • We install, align and encrypt the link so that nobody can intercept your data.
  • We integrate the link with your existing network and support you if anything stops working.

Frequently asked questions

Is it affected by rain or wind?

A properly sized link keeps working in normal rain and wind. What matters is a good installation and nothing getting in the way of the antennas, such as a growing tree or a new building.

Is there a monthly fee?

No. Unlike a second internet line, the link is yours: once installed there are no provider fees, only the maintenance you choose to contract.
