The Challenge
Every networked site has boundaries where fiber becomes impractical. A factory needs connectivity to a warehouse across a road. A surveillance system requires video from cameras mounted on poles 3 km from the NVR. An ISP needs to serve a hilltop community 12 km from the nearest fiber point. In each case, digging trenches or running overhead cable is either physically impossible, prohibitively expensive, or both.
Wireless bridges solve this problem — but the market is fragmented. Budget equipment cannot sustain reliable links beyond 2–3 km or deliver the throughput that HD CCTV or enterprise applications demand. Proprietary systems lock buyers into expensive controller licenses and vendor support contracts. System integrators need equipment that performs predictably, ships with proper certifications, and is available factory-direct at competitive pricing.
Our Approach
MossLink’s wireless bridge lineup is built around three performance tiers, covering every common application:
Entry Tier — CCTV & Remote Monitoring: The WB530 and WB451H series handle links from 500 m to 5 km. These compact units mount directly on camera poles or walls, connecting remote cameras to an NVR or network switch without running cable. Throughput of 150–300 Mbps supports simultaneous feeds from 6–10 IP cameras. IP65 housing keeps them operational through rain, dust, and temperature extremes.
Mid Tier — Campus & Industrial: The WB1500 and WB2500 both carry a 26 dBi dual-polarised parabolic dish and cover 10–15 km links, at 300 Mbps and 866 Mbps respectively. These are the workhorses for inter-building campus connectivity, industrial site networking, and mid-range ISP distribution links.
Long-Range Tier — ISP Backbone: The WB5axH6-35 leads the lineup with a built-in 33 dBi parabolic dish and a Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) radio — 2402 Mbps PHY, 900+ Mbps of real PtP throughput, and 20 km+ range with clear line of sight. It is the one model in the range with a gigabit SFP port, so a tower site can aggregate straight into a fiber switch. IP67 housing and a −40 °C to +70 °C operating range suit remote tower installations in any climate.
Application Scenarios
CCTV Backhaul: Replace cable runs between IP cameras and NVR. A single WB530 pair connects a cluster of cameras on a building perimeter, parking lot, or road section to the control room — eliminating expensive conduit installation.
Campus Inter-Building Links: Connect dormitory blocks, lecture buildings, and administration across a university campus. WB1500 pairs deliver gigabit-class throughput that supports VoIP, video conferencing, and campus-wide cloud applications.
ISP Last-Mile Distribution: WB5axH6-35 units at a hilltop tower beam connectivity outward in multiple directions, reaching subscriber CPE routers 10–20 km away in rural communities. This replaces the need for fiber to each distribution point.
Industrial Site Networking: Quarries, mines, port terminals, and construction sites use wireless bridges to connect remote equipment control stations, weight scales, and access control points back to the office network without trenching through hard surfaces.
Which Bridge for Which Distance?
Distance is the first filter, and it is the one buyers most often get wrong — a datasheet range assumes clear line of sight and enough mounting height, not a hedge line in the way.
| Link distance | Models | Antenna | Real throughput | Typical use |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0–4 km | WB530 | 14 dBi built-in dish | 300 Mbps | Camera pole to NVR, yard to office |
| 0–5 km | WB610H · WB730 | 16 dBi / 14 dBi | 900 Mbps | Building to building, PoE pass-through to a camera |
| 10–15 km | WB1500 · WB2500 | 26 dBi dish | 300 / 866 Mbps | Campus backbone, mid-range ISP distribution |
| 20 km+ | WB5axH6-35 · WB6axH6-20 | 33 dBi dish | 900+ Mbps | Tower-to-tower ISP backbone, SFP into fiber |
Two picks worth calling out. The WB610H carries PoE in and out on both ends, so the remote unit can power the camera it is backhauling — one cable up the pole instead of two. The WB6axH6-20 runs in the 6 GHz band, which in most markets is far emptier than 5.8 GHz; check that 6 GHz outdoor use is permitted in your country before you specify it.
Honest range numbers matter more than headline ones. Our guide on how far a wireless bridge actually reaches breaks down what each distance tier costs in tower height and clearance.
PtP or PtMP: Which Architecture?
Point-to-point is one link between two fixed ends. Both radios face each other, all the capacity belongs to that one link, and alignment is a two-person job done once. Use it whenever you are joining exactly two sites.
Point-to-multipoint puts one sector or omni radio at a hub and several client radios around it. The hub’s capacity is shared, so eight subscribers on one sector each get a slice, not the full number on the box. Use it when you have one head-end and several remote sites within the same arc, and when adding a ninth site should not mean adding a ninth radio at the hub.
The mistake we see most often is buying PtMP for two sites because it looks cheaper on paper, then discovering that a shared-medium sector delivers less than a dedicated link would have. Two sites is a PtP job.
What Actually Decides Throughput
Four things, in roughly this order:
Line of sight and Fresnel clearance. A link that clips a tree line at the midpoint loses far more than the tree seems to justify. Height at both ends is usually cheaper than a bigger dish.
Channel width and interference. An 80 MHz channel doubles the theoretical rate of a 40 MHz one and roughly halves your chance of finding it clear in a crowded band. In built-up areas, a narrower clean channel beats a wider dirty one.
Antenna gain and alignment. A 33 dBi dish two degrees off boresight performs worse than a well-aimed 26 dBi one. Budget the alignment time.
PHY rate versus real rate. The number on the box is the modulation ceiling in both directions combined. Plan on roughly half of it as sustained TCP throughput, which is why our long-range models quote 900+ Mbps actual against a 2402 Mbps PHY.
What to Send Us for a Link Design
Coordinates or a map pin for both ends, the height available at each end, what sits between them, the throughput you need, and how many links you are planning. We come back with a model recommendation, the mounting height each end needs, and a bill of materials — before you order a sample.
Results
MossLink’s 19-model wireless bridge range gives system integrators and ISPs a single-vendor solution covering every link distance and throughput requirement. Factory-direct supply eliminates distributor markups, and all models ship with CE/FCC documentation ready for regulatory approval. OEM customization is available for private-label programs, making MossLink a reliable manufacturing partner for brands and integrators building their own product lines.
