I’m afraid of heights but yesterday I again found myself on the roof of a tall building. With a very low wall around the edge.
This is happening more often as Avid delivers high-speed bandwidth to more of its clients using fixed wireless connections. Initially we were reluctant to use wireless, fearful that it would not meet our standards for reliability. But after two years of experience with wireless, we’ve completely changed our mind and now recommend wireless whenever possible.
It is quite reliable. And it is one of the fastest and cheapest ways of delivering high-speed bandwidth to commercial users. Our most common link is a 10 Mbps symmetrical link, which can be delivered wirelessly for a lot less than a fiber connection.
Each client is different, and we’ve learned not to try to shoehorn everyone into the same type of connection. But these days, the shoe that fits most comfortably is increasingly the wireless one.
