Licensed microwave the connectivity of the future


Johannesburg, 04 Dec 2020

In these times of change, Internet connectivity has become an essential utility, impacting the new normal for any size business and government office that is serious about connecting to their customers.

mmWave, Licensed Microwave Fixed Wireless Internet Access is fast becoming a preferred connectivity solution for any organisation that trades through the cloud or is currently migrating their business services to the cloud. This is because of the reliability, scalability and consistency of its performance that is equivalent to a fibre connection and, in some cases, superior to fibre services.

Yet, there are still businesses that are hesitant to make the change to a guaranteed last-mile connection. In fact, businesses that are dependent on accessing the cloud for their business applications need two mediums with similar last-mile performance characteristics to prioritise, in particular their voice services.

Why is mmWave, Licensed Microwave Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) through Comsol Networks a key part of the connectivity of the future?

Voice: Guaranteed voice VLAN that runs on a MEF2.0 network regardless of an enterprise or broadband service being consumed.

Symmetrical service: On lower capacities to ensure the quality of service and end-user experience.
