Overseas Project ISP Real-World Testing: LigoPTP RapidFire 6.5km Wireless Backhaul Extreme Performance Solution
Italian Ancona ISP Field Test: LigoPTP RapidFire 6.5km Wireless Backhaul Extreme Performance
Netoip, an Internet Service Provider from the Ancona region of Italy, joined the Beta testing program for LigoWave’s latest LigoPTP RapidFire wireless backhaul equipment. To verify the equipment’s performance in a real-world environment, the team established a wireless link spanning 6.5 kilometers (4 miles), aiming to provide high-bandwidth data, VoIP voice, and video surveillance services to residential and business customers.
I. Project Overview and Deployment
Netoip (Italian ISP)
6.5 km (4 miles)
LigoPTP RapidFire + External Dual-Polarization Dish Antenna
One end of the link is deployed in the city of San Quirico, serving as network backhaul connecting multiple base stations. The on-site installation utilized high-gain external dual-polarization dish antennas to ensure signal strength and link stability for long-distance transmission.
II. Performance Test Data
The technical team used internal throughput testing tools to conduct in-depth testing on the Capacity and Packet Forwarding Rate (PPS) of the LigoPTP RapidFire under different packet sizes. The test environment was configured with an 80 MHz channel bandwidth, maintaining an excellent received signal level of -55 dBm.
Test Results Summary
- Maximum Throughput: Up to 583 Mbps (Test packet size 512 bytes)
- Maximum Packet Forwarding Rate: Reached 268,000 PPS (Test packet size 64 bytes)
III. Customer Evaluation and Summary
“The link is very stable and performs exceptionally well in environments with interference. It handles VoIP voice traffic and other latency-sensitive real-time traffic very well. On our link, we observed very high throughput performance.”
This test fully demonstrated the powerful performance of LigoPTP RapidFire in medium-to-long distance backhaul applications. With high throughput and high PPS processing capabilities, it can not only meet high-bandwidth data transmission needs but also provide low-latency, high-reliability transmission guarantees for real-time services such as VoIP and HD video surveillance, making it an ideal choice for ISPs to build core backbone networks.
