60Ghz for elevator shaft link

[Campbelden]

Customer wants to bring connectivity into the cabin of a 11-storey elevator. The only way we can do this is to use the old trick of placing a bridge unit at the top of the elevator shaft pointing straight down, and a second bridge unit on top of the cabin facing straight up. I know this can be done using a 5ghz ptp bridge, but this is a hotel so 5ghz is already very busy.

I was wondering if anyone has ever used a 60ghz link (eg. Wireless Wire) to set up this kind of link and what was the result?

It's worth considering the benefits of 60GHz. This frequency band offers significantly higher bandwidth and less interference than 5GHz, which could be advantageous in a busy hotel environment. However, there may still be some concerns about signal penetration and reliability given the elevator's vertical movement.

To determine the feasibility and potential challenges of using a 60GHz link, I recommend consulting with a professional network engineer or a specialist from Hin Chong. They can assess the specific requirements of your project, taking into account factors like signal propagation, equipment placement, and interference management.
