Extend Internet to Second Building

A small business customer asked for Internet connectivity in a second building on the property to provide reliable access for an Internet connected jukebox that customers could search for music not currently loaded in the jukebox and download it.

The most cost effective solution was a radio bridge between the buildings.

An EdgeRouter PoE 5 that was previously installed in the main building on the property had an available port. Connecting a Ubiquiti Rocket 5AC Prism radio with a AMO-5G10 omni-directional antenna to the port and mounting it on the roof of the main building provided for multiple concurrent wireless connections from anywhere on the property. A NanoStation M5 mounted to the second building approximately 1000 feet away connected to a managed 8-Port EdgeSwitch PoE provides wired Internet access to the jukebox and a UniFi AP AC PRO access point that provide business and guest WiFi access in the second building.
