Data Cabling

Point-to-point (PTP) and point-to-multipoint (PTMP) connections are staples of fixed wireless networks and broader telecommunications architecture.

PTP is the simplest form of network architecture. It enables the connection of two locations using a wireless radio link. The most obvious examples of a PTP connection are fixed wireless connections or two-way radios.

In contrast, PTMP communication systems distribute a radio signal from one location to several others. This technology enables television and radio networks to broadcasts their content. The two methods of connectivity have distinct attributes and subsequent advantages and disadvantages.
