Point-to-point wireless links

UltraTech Kuwait installs point-to-point wireless links in Kuwait that connect buildings, warehouses and sites without digging or leasing lines. We check line of sight, mount and align the radios, and test the link speed before handover.

How much does a point-to-point wireless link cost in Kuwait?

Typical Kuwait prices in 2026, equipment and installation included. Your exact price is fixed in writing after the site visit (20 KWD, deducted from your invoice when you go ahead).

Short link up to ~500 m (e.g. gate house, warehouse, villa annex)150 – 350 KWD
Building-to-building link up to ~1 km, 1 Gbps+250 – 900 KWD
Long link 2–10 km (farms, remote sites)500 – 1,800 KWD
Mast or pole for line of sight40 – 250 KWD
Second link as backupfrom 150 KWD

What moves the price

  • Distance and line of sight
  • Speed needed
  • Mast height and mounting
  • Licensed or licence-free band

Which wireless link fits your distance?

Real throughput in Kuwait conditions, with margin for dust and heat. The site visit checks line of sight from both ends.

Before planning a wireless link

What we need from both ends of the link.

Both ends

  • Location of each building (map pin)
  • Roof or wall access at each end
  • Power and a network cabinet at each end

Path

  • Buildings, trees or cranes between the ends
  • New construction planned along the path
  • Distance, if known

Use

  • What runs over the link: internet, cameras, phones
  • Speed needed today and in 3 years
  • Whether the far site can ever go offline

Distance alone is not enough. These six things are checked for every link we plan.

FactorWhat it meansHow we handle it
Line of sightThe two radios must see each otherChecked from both ends on the site visit; masts where something blocks
Fresnel zoneThe oval around the line must be mostly clear, not just the line itselfMounting height raised until at least 60% of it is clear
Fade marginSpare signal for dust storms, heat haze and rainLinks sized with extra margin for Kuwait conditions
InterferenceOther radios on the same frequencies nearbySpectrum scanned before the channel is chosen
MountingWind moves badly fixed dishes and the link dropsRigid brackets; alignment checked at handover
EquipmentConsumer Wi-Fi gear is not made for links between buildingsPurpose-built point-to-point radios from established manufacturers

What people ask before they hire

How much does a point-to-point wireless link cost in Kuwait?

Typically 250–900 KWD for a building-to-building link up to about 1 km, installed and aligned. Short links under 500 m start around 150 KWD; long links of 2–10 km cost 500–1,800 KWD.

Do I need line of sight?

Yes. Both ends must see each other with a clear path. Where a building or trees block it, we raise the radios on a mast or add a relay point.

Does dust or rain affect the link?

Heavy dust storms can reduce the signal on long or 60 GHz links. We size each link with margin, and critical links get an automatic 5 GHz backup.

Is it as reliable as fiber?

A well-planned link runs for years with very little downtime. Fiber is still more reliable where ducts exist; wireless wins where digging is impossible or too costly.

Can it carry cameras and phones as well as internet?

Yes. The link behaves like a long network cable: cameras, phones and Wi-Fi at the far end all join your main network.

How long does installation take?

Usually one day per link, including mounting, alignment, testing and handover.

How much is a site visit?

20 KWD, deducted from your invoice when you go ahead. We check line of sight and mounting points at both ends.

Why wireless links fail in Kuwait, and how we avoid it

What we find when called to fix links someone else installed.

  1. 01Radios mounted on a loose pole

    Our fix: Wind moves the dish and the link drops. We use rigid brackets and check alignment at handover.

  2. 02Sized for a clear day

    Our fix: The first dust storm cuts it. We plan fade margin for Kuwait conditions.

  3. 03No surge protection on the cable

    Our fix: One surge destroys both radios and the switch. Every run is protected and earthed.

  4. 04Consumer Wi-Fi extenders used as a bridge

    Our fix: They were never made for it. We use purpose-built point-to-point radios.

  5. 05A single link for a critical building

    Our fix: When it fails, the building is offline. We add a backup link that takes over automatically.

What do you get at handover?

Link report

Signal, speed and margin measured at handover.

Aligned and fixed

Rigid mounts, sealed connectors, surge protection.

Part of your network

The far end joins your VLANs, cameras and Wi-Fi.

Remote monitoring

Link status visible in the controller.

Documents

Site plan, settings and passwords.

One contact

The engineer who built it stays your point of contact.

How does it work?

  1. Step 1

    Site visit

    Line of sight, distance and mounting at both ends. 20 KWD, credited to your invoice.

  2. Step 2

    Link plan and fixed quote

    Radios, masts and expected speed, with the price.

  3. Step 3

    Install and align

    Usually one day per link.

  4. Step 4

    Test and hand over

    Speed and margin measured; report handed over.

How does a wireless link connect two sites?

It works like a very long network cable between two switches.

  1. 01Main building switch
  2. 02Surge protector
  3. 03Radio A on bracket or mast
  4. 04Clear line of sight
  5. 05Radio B at the far site
  6. 06Far-site switch, cameras and Wi-Fi

Standards and specifications

Bands

Which equipment do we install?

Wireless link terms, explained

Point-to-point (PtP)
One radio talking to exactly one other radio, like a long network cable through the air.
Point-to-multipoint (PtMP)
One central radio serving several remote sites, e.g. a farm house to stables and gate.
Line of sight (LoS)
A clear visual path between the two radios; required for reliable links.
Fresnel zone
The oval-shaped space around the line of sight that must be mostly clear for full signal.
Fade margin
Spare signal strength that keeps the link up during dust storms and heat haze.
