BridgeWave, a supplier of outdoor Gigabit wireless connectivity solutions, has stated that the National Capital Commission (NCC) has selected BridgeWave’s (News - Alert) AR60-AES links to deliver high-capacity, secure, cost-effective wireless connectivity.

 

Canada’s NCC recently expanded and had relocated some of its employees to a new remote location and was requiring connectivity to support user’s industrial and graphic design work. The connectivity was also needed to support Internet and corporate database access and HR and finance applications at the new office. 

 

NCC while implementing connectivity must also comply with government data security policies and also had to consider the highest form of security. NCC has claimed that their research revealed that BridgeWave’s AR60 with Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) stood out as the best solution for performance, budgetary and security reasons. Moreover, the narrow beamwidth of the BridgeWave links create “virtual pipes” for mission critical applications, making signal interception near impossible and the AR60-AES gigabit wireless links contain built-in 256-bit AES encryption, the strongest encryption commercially available.

 

The BridgeWave links also had built-in capacity to maintain server centralization and eliminated the need for procuring additional servers and the associated backup infrastructure. NCC has acknowledged that BridgeWave’s high-capacity links has enabled them to provide better public service at less cost to the taxpayer. With network ROI achieved in 18 to 20 months and no substantial fiber installation or monthly fiber connection costs, this network expansion has been a success for NCC.

 

Amir Makleff, president and CEO of BridgeWave has commented that given budget constraints and security demands, government agencies have no room for error when choosing wireless networking solutions. For this reason, agencies like the NCC partner with BridgeWave for the superior network performance and security needed to serve the public well, while getting the most for the taxpayer’s dollar.
