Installation in Difficult-to-Wire Areas

Installation in Difficult-to-Wire Areas
The implementation of wireless networks offers many tangible cost savings when performing
installations in difficult-to-wire areas. If rivers, freeways, or other obstacles separate buildings
you want to connect (see Figure 1.2), a wireless solution may be much more economical than
installing physical cable or leasing communications circuits, such as T1 service or 56Kbps
lines. Some organizations spend thousands or even millions of dollars to install physical links
with nearby facilities.
If you are facing this type of installation, consider wireless networking as an alternative. The
deployment of wireless networking in these situations costs thousands of dollars, but it will
result in a definite cost savings in the long run.
