Overview of PtMP Wireless Solution
What is PtMP?
Point-to-Multipoint (PtMP) is a communication model where a single central node, referred to as the "access point," connects to multiple remote nodes or "client points." Unlike the Point-to-Point (PtP) model, where one transmitter corresponds to one receiver, PtMP allows a single transmitter to communicate with multiple receivers over a wireless network. The PtMP technology functions through a centralized architecture, consisting of three main components:
Access Point (AP):
The central hub or access point serves as the primary transmitter, broadcasting data to multiple client points within its range. It's typically positioned in an elevated location to ensure maximum coverage.
Client Points (CPs or CPEs):
These are the individual remote nodes or receivers connected to the central AP. They could represent households, businesses, cameras, sensors, etc.

Strategic Planning for Access Points & Hardware Selection
Before diving into the specifics of PtMP solutions, it is essential to consult with Industry Canada (IC) to ascertain which bands and frequency ranges are legally permitted for use within Canada. Compliance with national regulations is not only a legal requirement but also ensures the effectiveness and reliability of your wireless network.
MikroTik Wireless products are typically certified for use in both the Canadian and US markets. These products are categorized into US and International groups, with detailed licensing information provided on the product's page. However, regulations can change, and it's essential to consult the official IC website for the most accurate and up-to-date information regarding permissible bands and frequencies.
By ensuring that your selected MikroTik products are in line with Canadian law, you are laying the groundwork for a robust and compliant PtMP network that will meet the needs of your customers without legal complications.
A Single Band Solution in a PtMP network involves the utilization of one specific frequency band—such as 2.4GHz, 5GHz, or 900MHz—for communication between the main tower and remote sites. This approach offers a cost-effective and streamlined solution, suitable for various networking requirements.
The PtMP Dual Band Solutions provide an effective way to address connectivity challenges in complex environments. By utilizing both 5GHz and either 2.4GHz or 900MHz frequencies, this approach offers more flexibility and robustness in network design
Low Bandwidth but Robust Solutions are ideal for applications where data sensitivity and reliability are paramount, and high data rates are not necessarily required. In scenarios such as IoT networks controlling electronic systems, gates, or other remote devices, the focus shifts from speed to stability and secure service delivery.
Solutions for Legacy Wireless Networks address scenarios where industrial clients are reliant on older wireless technologies. MikroTik offers a broad spectrum of equipment designed to ensure both connectivity and security, recognizing these as paramount requirements for these network types.
Equitable Bandwidth Distribution
Fair Bandwidth Allocation are ideal for public events like festivals, matches, or large gatherings where thousands of clients may attempt to connect simultaneously. The challenge in this scenario is not just optimizing the data distribution and pinpointing the best installation locations but also implementing a system that manages bandwidth effectively. By shaping or scheduling the available bandwidth, these solutions ensure a fair and balanced data sharing experience for all active users. It's about achieving the right balance of cost-effectiveness, performance, and equitable access.
Leveraging the recent advancements in 60GHz frequency technology, this solution promises ultra-high-throughput wireless connections, making it a prime choice for Wireless ISPs aiming to offer speeds close to a gigabit per second. While primarily designed as a single-band, there's flexibility to implement it as a dual-band system with a 5GHz fallback option to ensure continuity during unforeseen interruptions.
Leveraging MikroTik's unique and robust single band mesh solution, businesses can attain unparalleled connectivity, reliability, and redundancy, adaptable for both high and low data throughput needs. Spanning a range of sectors, from IoT and monitoring systems to government utilities and ISPs, this solution offers a versatile approach to maintaining seamless wireless communication. Whether it's for dispatching, monitoring critical infrastructures, or bridging gaps in ISP networks, the single band mesh solution stands out as a top choice.
MikroTik's dual band mesh solution exemplifies the pinnacle of wireless connectivity. Tailored for those requiring a robust and high-throughput backhaul system, this solution employs a distinctive frequency to ensure uninterrupted communication. While one band is dedicated to maintaining the backbone's integrity and failover provisions, the secondary band focuses on the access layer, connecting CPEs in close proximity to each AP. What sets this solution apart is not just its performance, but its simplicity in implementation and troubleshooting. As an expandable system, it offers both cost-effectiveness and scalability, truly marking it as one of the most efficient wireless solutions available.
