The key to almost 100 % uptime of wireless links in 5 GHz band full of noise are backup links. First, set up your sector coverage as needed depending on your customer CPE distribution. Second, aim a backup AP with wider coverage in major directions as well. 

These are during normal network operation inactive. When any failure / emergency situation happens and one of the original APs goes out of operation, the turn the backup AP on to ensure zero down time and satisfied customers that will never even notice anything, but experience reliable internet service quality.

RF elements® is the no. 1 antenna manufacturer in the wireless industry. Our award winning antenna technology solves the problem of RF noise in unlicensed frequency bands. 

THE PROBLEM: RF NOISE
Antenna side lobes (SLs) transmit and receive the RF signal from unwanted directions contributing to the noise level the radios see in the most direct way. The vast amount of devices being constantly deployed escalate this issue to the point of complete halt.

NOISE REJECTION
Our horn antennas have zero SLs effectively protecting RF radios from collecting and transmitting the noise to its surroundings. Low noise level equals high signal to noise ratio (SNR), high MCS rates the radio works with, and eventually stable and reliably high network throughput.

ZERO LOSS
Our proprietary TwistPort™ waveguide connector has no cables and no coaxial components. It uses a waveguide to transport the RF signal. Compared to the current market standard, such as RP-SMA coaxial connectors, TwistPort™ is practically lossless. It is also extremely easy to use and durable.

MASSIVE SCALABILITY
With current wireless equipment, increasing network granularity is simply impossible. Existing wireless equipment is hardly capable of delivering the performance needed today. By solving the two biggest problems, RF Noise and RF Loss, we unlock a whole new dimension of wireless networking. WISPs now can supply their increasing customer demands for connectivity by deploying more sectors with no limit.
