Designed to connect two or more networks (typically located in different buildings), Cisco Aironet wireless bridges deliver high data rates and superior throughput for data-intensive, line-of-sight applications. The high-speed links between Cisco Aironet wireless bridges deliver throughput faster than E1/T1 lines for a fraction of the cost - eliminating the need for expensive and difficult-to-install leased lines or fiber-optic cable. The initial hardware investment can be quickly paid for with the money saved on leased-line service. Wireless bridges connect discrete sites into a single LAN, even when they`re separated by obstacles such as freeways, railroads, and bodies of water that are practically insurmountable for copper and fiber-optic cable.
