Connectivity
Ethernet and microwave
Fast, dedicated ethernet connections, and point-to-point microwave links for sites where laying cable is impractical or too slow.
The problem

Questions people ask
When is microwave better than a cable?
When a site is remote, when the ground makes digging impractical, or when you need a link between two buildings quickly. Microwave needs a clear line of sight between the two points.
Is ethernet more secure than Wi-Fi?
Yes. Data on an ethernet connection stays inside the physical network and can only be reached by connecting to it, whereas Wi-Fi transmits through the air.
Can a microwave link connect two of our own buildings?
Yes. A point-to-point microwave link joins two buildings without laying cable, as long as there is a clear line of sight between them.
Who installs and runs the link?
Odyssey's own engineers, never subcontractors. Our point-to-point microwave network is run from our Preston Farm offices in Stockton-on-Tees, and links are delivered over our own business-only core network.
Can we add capacity to the link later?
Yes. We design each connection so that capacity can be added as your business grows.
