County wireless links

The County of Buncombe, N.C., has deployed four BridgeWave AR80 point-to-point wireless links, providing backup to the existing county fiber-based network. The BridgeWave links offer full-rate gigabit Ethernet backhaul capacity with the strongest data encryption commercially available. Buncombe County’s IT department supports 1,800 employees working in 20 locations scattered across 660 square miles. Major public safety facilities, including the police station, fire department and emergency medical dispatch, are connected via fiber-optic links. The county sought a reliable wireless solution to back up existing fiber lines, with ample bandwidth to support the county’s VOIP 911 call center.
