For any business in a multi-storey building, ensuring elevators are connected to the network can be critical for applications like video surveillance and digital signage.
Traditionally, solutions like high tension Ethernet cables—running from either the top or bottom of the elevator shafts—are used to accomplish this. But there are some significant drawbacks to this method:
- Construction has to be completed in a way that allows for these cables.
- Installation is more intensive
- Eventually the cables will break due to normal wear and tear.
To mitigate these issues, TP-Link offers a solution: a wireless point to point link delivering throughput up to 300 Mbps.
Wireless coverage extends to the entire shaft to connect surveillance cameras or digital signage directly to your network. Record real time video to an NVR with virtually no hard wiring required—so there are no cables to wear out.
Wireless Installation is Easy Installation
Just like traditional options, deployment involves an end point at the top or bottom of the elevator shaft and another on the top or bottom of the elevator car. For the wireless networking for elevators, one CPE is recommended to be installed on the top of the elevator car as the mobile AP, connecting to the camera or digital signage, and it moves with the elevator car. While another CPE is installed on the top of the elevator shaft as the fixed AP, connecting to the NVR, or the main network.
TP-Link’s Pharos product series, consisting of professional CPEs and centralized management paltform, provides long-range wireless networking for applications such as wireless elevator networking. The products recommended to provide wireless coverage for the elevator are listed below.
