Want solid wireless performance? Get fiber

Most companies still have these networks installed and are using them. At the same time, they are also supporting mobile users, whether through Wi-Fi or by allowing them to connect to the mobile service provider network. Wireless performance is a priority for many users and the key deciding factor is backhaul. Radio signal towers increasingly have to be attached to fiber backhaul infrastructure, a major problem since most signal towers use Ethernet. Media converters play a key role in enabling interoperability, allowing the data to flow from end users to the web quickly and efficiently. Without fiber, the current mobile revolution would be impossible. As smartphone and tablet use rises, many experts agree fiber will become even more important as a mobile enabler.
Perle has an extensive range of Managed and Unmanaged Fiber Media Converters to extended copper-based Ethernet equipment over a fiber optic link, multimode to multimode and multimode to single mode fiber up to 160km.
