Argus Media has asked MLL Telecom to design, install, commission and manage a mission-critical wireless broadband access network for its headquarters in central London. Argus provides up-to-the-second market data, news and analysis about the world's energy industries to its customers around the world.  It also has a global network of offices so reliable communications are essential to its business.  With this in mind, Argus wanted to supplement its existing fibre network to ensure an exceptionally high service level. Argus compared the various advantages of fibre, wireless and satellite and quickly realised that a wireless broadband network should be deployed not as a backup to the existing fibre network but as the core network.  The fibre would be the backup. MLL's point-to-point wireless network will provide bandwidths that are 15 times greater than Argus' current fibre connection and with none of the latency problems associated with the satellite alternative. In addition, wireless will be five times cheaper than satellite and offer a degree of resilience unmatched by fibre.
