Having said that, if you're talking a short-range point-to-point link with a very narrow signal (i.e. sub 6 degrees horizontal and vertical), and on a non-public frequency band (i.e. not 2.4Ghz or 5Ghz), then the probability of interception is fairly minimal. By contrast, if you're running a long-range link with a fairly
I think he said Microwave not Wireless.Depends on implementation. We ran a couple of STM-1 links over Microwaves, our equipment had some basic encryption, not very strong - about DES standard.
Would need line of sight interception for that. -- Regards, Giles Coochey, CCNA, CCNAS NetSecSpec Ltd +44 (0) 7983 877438 http://www.coochey.net http://www.netsecspec.co.uk [email protected]
