“WAVE1 STAFF HAD NO PROBLEMS ADVISING OF A SUITABLE, COST EFFECTIVE SOLUTION”

“The City of Armadale ICT department manages 14 sites around the City, with 8 of them now connected via Wave1 high speed microwave solutions.

In the past other suppliers had advised the City that connecting certain sites was not feasible, either due to cost or location. Wave1 staff had no problems advising of a suitable, cost effective solution to enable us to deliver increased service levels to over 300 staff including data, voice and video systems...”

“THE ENTIRE TEAM AT WAVE1 HAVE BEEN HIGHLY PROFESSIONAL AND HAVE INSTALLED A COST EFFECTIVE”

“The entire team at Wave1 have been highly professional and have installed a cost effective, high performance wireless solution to connect Council facilities across the entire Maitland Local Government Area. The team have been extremely knowledgeable and have assisted with initial wireless design through to cabling and installation of units.”

“WAVE1'S ATTENTION TO DETAIL AND CUSTOMER FOCUSED APPROACH WAS WELCOMED BY THE AUTHORITY”

“In 2011, the Rottnest Island Authority began an aggressive plan for bringing high quality communications services to their Visitors (as well as providing first class services to staff and work groups) through the introduction of high speed data communications, Free Public Wi-Fi, Internet TV and other communications services...”

“WE FOUND THAT THE LINKS WERE MORE THAN CAPABLE OF THE DELIVERING THE BANDWIDTH”

"When ABC Tissues was investigating ways to further extend their WAN without having to lay down fibre or engage a telco for an uplink, we decided that our best option would be to use microwave links to achieve this. Upon undertaking this and researching what was available on the market we decided to partner with Wave 1 on a solution that would work best for what we were trying to achieve."

"Wave1 and their people do a professional job"

"Wave1 and their people do a professional job from the cabling through to the setup of each wireless unit on every job. They also provide prompt responses when it comes to maintenance and emergencies."

"WE HAVE ALWAYS FOUND THE TECHNICAL ADVICE AND SUPPORT FIRST CLASS"

"Austek, the largest system integrator in Far North Queensland has been partnering with Wave1 for nearly 15 years. We have always found the technical advice and support first class. At Austek we only recommend the Wave1 outdoor point to point wireless kit. The Wave1 kit has proved to be extremely reliable and stable over the years."

"WAVE1 WERE ONSITE AND HAD THE PROBLEM FIXED WITHIN A COUPLE OF HOURS"

"Reliance Worldwide Corporation is a global provider of water control systems and plumbing solutions. At our Brisbane headquarters we needed a high speed link to connect to a new temporary office. We shopped around and the monthly rental option of a 1Gbps full duplex link proved to be the most cost effective solution for us. During the two and half years the link was in operation, it did fail once, but Wave1 were onsite and had the problem fixed within a couple of hours."

"ONCE AGAIN WAVE1 HAS DELIVERED TOTALLY ON WHAT THEY SAID THEY WOULD"

"With the introduction of government funding, the college was able to significantly upgrade its existing microwave solution from 36Mbps to 400Mbps. This will substantially change the way we approach content delivery across the college, allowing greater leverage and centralisation of applications. The upgrade project undertaken with Wave1 was a seamless cutover with minimal network downtime. Once again Wave1 has delivered totally on what they said they would, and the college is fully satisfied with the end product solution."

"WAVE1 WERE ALWAYS PROMPT WHEN ASKED TO DESIGN A SOLUTION AND OFFERED SEVERAL POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS"

"Wave1 were always prompt when asked to design a solution and offered several possible solutions to the problem at hand, including thorough site and terrain surveys. System installation by Wave1 was always professional, to a high standard and took into account the sensitive environment in which they were working and the physical access difficulties some of our buildings exhibit. The pride Wave1 takes in its work shows and I would happily recommend them to anyone considering a communications solution."

FAQs

What is wireless communication, and how does it differ from wired communication?

Wireless communication, like Wave1’s solutions, transmits data through radio waves, microwaves, or infrared signals, eliminating the need for physical cables. This makes it more flexible and easier to install than wired communication, which relies on physical connections such as fibre optics or copper wires. Wireless networks allow organisations to connect remote locations or temporary sites efficiently, while wired systems often require extensive groundwork and maintenance.

What are the key components and technologies that enable wireless communication?

Wireless communication relies on components such as transmitters, receivers, antennas and signal processors. Wave1 uses advanced microwave technologies with frequencies ranging from 8-38GHz for licensed systems and 60-80GHz for high-capacity solutions. These technologies enable high-speed, long-distance wireless communication with minimal latency, ensuring reliability across various operational environments. Additionally, Wave1 employs tools like spectrum analysers to optimise signal strength and reduce interference.

What makes licensed microwave systems ideal for high-demand networks?

Licensed microwave systems offer exclusive use of specific frequency bands for minimal interference and superior reliability. These systems are ideal for high-demand applications, such as linking remote sites or transferring large volumes of data over long distances. Wave1’s licensed systems provide high-speed, interference-free communication for industries that require guaranteed performance and privacy. These include healthcare for secure patient data transfers, mining for real-time monitoring of equipment and government facilities for confidential communications.

What makes license-free radio links a cost-effective choice for wireless communication?

License-free radio links use open frequency bands, such as 5.8GHz and 2.4GHz, to provide reliable long-distance communication without licensing fees. These systems are ideal for low-use airspace regions, offering substantial throughput rates at a fraction of the cost of licensed systems. Wave1’s license-free solutions are perfect for connecting rural facilities, supporting smaller-scale operations or reducing overhead costs while maintaining dependable performance.

What maintenance is required to keep a wireless communication network operating at peak performance?

Wireless networks require periodic checks to maintain optimal performance. We provide maintenance services, including firmware updates, equipment inspections and real-time monitoring through our LinkMon system. These services help detect and resolve issues early, minimise downtime and keep your network delivering reliable communication year-round. Together, we can explore maintenance contracts that suit your needs.

What challenges and limitations are associated with wireless communication, and how can they be mitigated or overcome?

Wireless communication can face interference, limited bandwidth and environmental obstacles like buildings or terrain blocking signals. Wave1 mitigates these challenges through precise path calculations and site surveys to ensure a clear Line of Sight. Licensed systems guarantee interference-free performance, while self-coordinated systems provide high bandwidth in areas with heavy data traffic. Advanced technologies, including adaptive modulation and error correction, further enhance network stability and reliability. Contact Wave1 to learn more about how we overcome these challenges for your specific needs.
