R&M has announced that it is paving the way for Wi-Fi 7 and 5G in buildings, and the globally active Swiss developer and provider of high-end infrastructure solutions for data and communications networks has developed a hybrid cabling concept specifically for this purpose.
The solution combines fibre optic and power cabling for access points, and is based on the principle of structured LAN cabling. This makes it possible to quickly establish additional infrastructures for Wi-Fi 7 and 5G coverage in buildings in a tried-and-tested way.
Wi-Fi 7 and 5G are increasing the transmission rate in local wireless networks. However, they are exceeding the transmission capacities of existing copper-based LAN cabling. An R&M spokesperson states, “Anyone wanting to use Wi-Fi 7 and 5G in buildings in the near future needs a practical and future-proof cabling solution.”
Hybrid cabling made of optical fibre and copper for data and power transmission, such as the one R&M has now developed, could well prove ideal. The next-generation access points are networked using optical fibres. At the same time, the antennas gain their power via the LAN cabling, which saves an additional separate power supply.
As referenced, the hybrid solution from R&M is based on the principles of structured LAN cabling, and is integrated in the modified building, floor and ceiling cabling (digital ceiling). The antennas can be patched in next to no time to expand or customise Wi-Fi coverage. In addition to conventional fibre optic and copper installation cables, the R&M portfolio also includes hybrid installation cables, fibre optic and RJ45 patch cords, 19″ patch panels and hybrid-compatible service outlets, as well as RJ45 and LC connectivity.
One R&M solution variant even goes beyond the typical radius of LAN cabling. It supports distances of up to 200 metres between distributors and service outlets. This connects the patch cabling with parallel fibre optic and RJ45 patch cords. It connects the antennas with the data network and the power supply.
R&M provides all the necessary cabling products, and the company also supports specialist planners and installers with adaptable installation concepts. The company therefore believes that next-generation Wi-Fi with a large number of transmission channels and transmission rates in excess of 30 Gbit/s is now feasible.
