SUMMARY

For connecting two buildings over a distance of more than 30 KM with a high transmission rate between 2 Mbps and 155 Mbps, fiber optic cables are the optimal choice due to their immunity to electromagnetic interference and high bandwidth capabilities. If minimal interference is acceptable, a wireless microwave link can serve as a viable alternative, offering flexibility and lower installation costs. For scenarios prioritizing operational costs over initial investment, leased lines or dedicated wireless solutions may be more suitable. Structured cabling is essential for ensuring efficient data transmission and network reliability.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of fiber optic technology and its advantages
  • Knowledge of microwave transmission systems
  • Familiarity with structured cabling standards
  • Awareness of leased line services and their operational costs
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the specifications and installation processes for fiber optic cables
  • Learn about microwave link technology and its deployment
  • Explore structured cabling best practices and standards
  • Investigate leased line options and their cost-benefit analysis
USEFUL FOR

Network engineers, IT infrastructure planners, and anyone involved in establishing high-speed data connections over long distances.

I need to connect 2 building. They're separated more than 30 KM. And they want to get a high transmission rate (between 2 Mbps until more than 155 Mbps). The transmission must not get disturbed by electromagnetic wave at all. The budget is not a problem.

What media should I choose? And why should I choose that media?
If the interference and other disturbance issue is allowed just for a little, what would be the best alternative beside the 1st chosen media?
If they prefer to the operational cost rather than investment cost, what media is suitable? (Assume that there's no TV cable company in that city)

Please give u'r suggestion.. Thx.. :smile:

Google for how various companies solve this solution all the time. You're looking at different types of cables, their capacities, and they're insulation.

Structured cabling is a good place to start.
