Wireless for lighter usage and lower-risk sites

Broadband Wireless is a practical option for lighter usage where fibre isn’t feasible. It’s best suited to lower-risk sites where downtime impact is limited, or where the goal is simply to get a site online quickly.

What to expect

Fast and practical where feasible

Broadband Wireless is usually chosen for speed of deployment and practicality.

  • A realistic option where fibre isn’t feasible
  • Useful for small offices and secondary sites
  • Performance varies by environment and congestion
  • Continuity recommended if the site is important

Be deliberate about operational risk

If downtime is expensive, use Business Wireless or add failover rather than relying on a lighter tier.

  • Consider Business Wireless for operational sites
  • Add LTE failover where uptime matters
  • Use segmentation for guest/devices if needed
  • Upgrade path is straightforward if requirements increase

Common use cases

Small or low-risk sites

Where downtime impact is limited and usage is light.

Secondary branches

Backup or supporting locations that still need connectivity.

Quick go-live

When you need a practical connectivity path quickly.

Stepping stone

Start here, then move up to Business Wireless as requirements increase.
