Point to Multi Point WIFI Network

De Grey Mining have been a valued client of Qbit for the last few years.

As their success has grown, so has the size of their remote site operations, and the number of people requiring access to data onsite. To facilitate this Qbit deployed the latest technology from Ubiquity to create a large Wi-Fi network across the site and dongas. This facilitated the operational requirements across the site, as well as providing internet access for site workers to communicate with home. We used a mix of Point to Point and Point to Multi Point technology to achieve this.

Problem

De Grey Mining were in the market for a low-cost, temporary solution for internet around the Wingina Exploration camp. At the time De Grey were not sure how long the camp would be in this location, so they did not want to invest in cabling the whole camp if they did not need to.

Solution

Qbit’s research led us to deploying the Ubiquity Prism Wifi Backbone network. This is a relatively new system from Ubiquity.

First we installed a broadcast antenna on the main office where the internet connection comes into the camp. This is the Point of a Point to Multi Point connection.

This antenna can broadcast to a receiver that is up to 5km away in line of sight. This is concidered one of the Multi Point connections.

BENEFITS

We covered the whole 20 donga site with 5 receivers and access points. This has led to massive efficiency gains across the site. Also the feedback from the camp has been very positive, with a whole team of site workers now able to access the internet from their rooms. Making for a happier workplace.

Staff were able to make WIFI calls, watch Netflix and work over the WIFI Connection.
