Case Study:

Non-Disruptive Network Connection
by Cablefree

The Problem:
Owning the land on the site, and therefore digging rights, does not prevent major problems.
The connection of two separate buildings involved major disruption to car parking and vehicle access areas to the busy distribution centre.
The customer had received a quotation for £46,000 to dig in a fibre-optic cabling solution.

The Solution:
CableFree Solutions proved an obvious choice, with the line-of-sight path just of 690m indicating choice of a CableFree1000 system with 1310nm multimode fibre-optic interfaces to run to the 100Mbps Ethernet switches at either end.

Installed in less than a working day, CableFree provided a solution with zero disruption to the busy site traffic and merely the provision of signal and power cabling from the offices at either end to the roof-mounted systems. A gable-end mounting at one end solved the requirement to align the beam above the roof top, with the optical technology removing the concerns of signal reflections which would have rendered a microwave system inoperative in a comparable installation.

The CableFree Solution was clearly the correct choice for the company, providing highly-reliable, secure and license-free connectivity at full 100Mbps speed unmatched by RF, microwave or leased-line options, at less than half the cost of a fixed-line fibre-optic installation and with none of the associated disruption.

"Of all the infrared systems I have installed, the CableFree1000 is by far the most sophisticated and the most user-friendly"
