Use cases
A point-to-point or point-to-multipoint wireless bridge between two sites, with RF configuration and link budget tracking.
WLINK models a building-to-building or campus wireless bridge for IT infrastructure. e.g. Ubiquiti airMAX/airFiber, Cambium ePMP, MikroTik. Used where running fibre between buildings is impractical or too expensive. This is an IT infrastructure entity, not telco licensed microwave backhaul. Each endpoint connects to a COMPPORTINV radio interface on a COMPINV wireless bridge device at a specific SITE. The siteA/siteB lookups identify the physical locations at each end, while interfaceA/interfaceB reference the specific radio ports on the bridge hardware. The Performance panel tracks link budget calculations (expected throughput, fade margin, availability) and monitoring data (signal strength, noise floor, SNR, actual throughput). This entity complements CONNECTION (wired cables) by providing wireless alternatives for point-to-point infrastructure links.
