What we do
Point-to-point WiFi that carries your internet wherever it needs to go.
If you can get a clear path between two points, we can put a fast, stable WiFi link across it, building to building, hilltop to homestead, or out to a corner of the place that's never had a signal.
What we build
From a single hop between two sheds to a multi-site network with carrier-grade backhaul. Each one has its own page.
Point-to-point links
A directional bridge from one building to the next, hundreds of metres to kilometres. The core of what we do.
Point-to-multipoint
One base station feeding many buildings or subscribers from a single high point.
Microwave links
Carrier-grade capacity over long hops, licensed or unlicensed, for backhaul you can put an SLA against.
Fibre backhaul
The high-capacity spine, fibre and wireless together, carrying the whole network to the upstream.
Site & line-of-sight survey
The make-or-break first step: line of sight, clearance, antenna heights, band and interference.
Wide-area mesh
Outdoor access points and mesh that blanket a yard, a park or an event on one network.
Masts, towers & relays
Height and relay points that beat the trees and the hills in the way.
Off-grid & solar links
Links and relays that run on sun and battery where there's no power to plug into.
Getting the signal across, even with the trees in the way
This is where consumer kit gives up. The link technology and the band are chosen for the distance and the obstacles, not the other way round.
5 GHz for speed, short to medium hops
Where the path is clear and the distance is modest, 5 GHz carries the most throughput. Great between buildings on the same block; more affected by rain over long distances, which we plan for.
2.4 GHz for distance & light scrub
For the long ones, 2.4 GHz propagates further and pushes through light vegetation and over water better than 5 GHz, the reason it's still the workhorse for rural and remote links.
Masts & relays for blocked paths
When trees or a hill sit in the line of sight, we lift an end onto a mast or hop the link via a relay point that can see both ends. Most "impossible" sites are just a height problem.
What's included
Survey & design
We assess the path, distance and obstructions, then spec the link, the antennas and where they mount.
Install & aim
We fit both ends, aim the dishes for best signal, run the cable in, and set up the network and coverage.
Monitor & maintain
We watch signal, throughput and uptime, alert you to trouble, and keep the link tuned as things change.
Who it's for
Rural homes & second dwellings
One connection at the main house, shared out to the granny flat, the studio or the shed office, without an excavator.
Farms & large properties
WiFi at the workshop, the yards and the machinery shed, fed from the connection at the homestead over real distance.
Events & temporary sites
Coverage across a showground, festival or worksite where there's no fixed cabling and the crowd needs to connect.
Remote & off-grid
The hard ones, no power and no nearby signal, where a relayed link and a solar-powered end finally put a corner of the place online.
Bigger jobs, more ground
Linking buildings on one place is one thing; stitching connectivity across paddocks, gates and multiple sites is another. For property-scale rural networking, gate sensors, cameras, multi-building backhaul and the lot, see our sister service Paddock Networks. Same crew, same standards, more ground covered.
Questions people ask
How far will a point-to-point WiFi link reach?
With a clear line of sight and directional antennas, a few hundred metres is easy and a few kilometres is routine. The right outdoor gear is rated to around 15 to 20 km. Trees, sheds and hills limit range far more than distance does, so we survey the path before quoting.
Can you extend my Starlink or NBN to another building?
Yes. A point-to-point bridge carries the connection you already have (Starlink, NBN, fibre or a 4G/5G modem) from the building it lands in to the others. It does not add a second connection or a second bill.
Do the two buildings need line of sight?
A clear line of sight is the single biggest factor in whether a link works. The antennas need to see each other, ideally with some clearance around the path. Where trees or terrain are in the way we raise a mast, move an end, or relay via a third point.
What about big open areas like a yard or an event?
For covering an area rather than linking two points, we feed outdoor access points or a mesh from the bridge so devices roam across the yard, the sheds or an event site on one network.
Are you the licensed installers, or who does the work?
Long Range WiFi is a service of Alien IT Solutions, with 18 years in networks and wireless. We design, integrate, install and support the link, and subcontract licensed electrical or rigging trades where a job needs them. We do not claim to be a licensed electrician.
