Wireless Point to Point Comparison Table

The tables below compares the feature availability between a number of leading wireless point to point applications.

Low end PTP
These PTP radios provide a cost effective solution for multiple scenarios. These radios are ideal for solutions such as:

• External buildings (sheds, annexes)
  
• Small business LAN extension (office to office)
  
• Home broadband extension (to neighboring house / building)

Below are a range of 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz (n/ac) radios recommended by 4Gon for a cost effective, simple PTP solution.

High end PTP
Higher end PTP radios provide additional throughput capacity, higher encryption and security options as well as more technical specifications (integrated radios, GPS, RF filtering). Included / optional features are brand applicable.

These radios are more ideal for solutions such as:

• Medium / Enterprise external business sites (office to warehouse)
  
• High throughput requirements (network extension for phone, IP CCTV, WiFi systems)
  
• Sensitive data transfer (encrypted data)

We have listed below a varying range of 5Ghz ac, 4.4Ghz - 5.9Ghz and microwave high end PTP links that we recommend.
