Interconnections involve establishing high-capacity, point-to-point links between two locations, assets, or network nodes. These solutions utilise technologies such as microwave links, optics, and millimeter-wave to enable robust, scalable, and secure data transmission between sites. Interconnections are critical for connecting office buildings, data centers, radio towers, or any sites requiring dedicated and direct communication channels.
A well-designed Interconnection solution excels in bandwidth capacity, low latency, and high reliability. It should meet current data transfer needs but also anticipate lifecycle bandwidth demands in consideration with total cost of ownership. Quality solutions might implement redundant paths and/or high-availability equipment to ensure consistent uptime. They also prioritise security through data encryption and secure protocols. The best Interconnection designs are scalable, allowing for modular expansion, and choose appropriate transmission media based on distance, required bandwidth, and environmental factors. Compliance with regulatory requirements, including spectrum licensing and construction permits, are essential.
