Eastra Solutions is a Certified MikrotTik integrator and hardware reseller. Our high-speed wireless systems are used to provide internet access to end-users using point-to-point or point-to-multipoint architecture to connect remote offices to WANs. Point to Point Point-to-pointPTP links are an excellent way make connections between two sites and achieve high data transfer speeds. This is an ideal way to connect two offices. Also these types of wireless links are very useful if you need to create backbone link from some distant radio access point to your main Internet source. Point to Multipoint PTM connections are primarily used by wireless ISPs connect their customers. They put access point somewhere high in the tower above the city or on some high building and then point their client antennas to this access point. Point to multipoint Why choose Mikrotik? Cost effective solution High-speed wireless data links (Up to 108Mbps) Connection distance up to 70 km without repeater sites IP - NAT, Routing, DHCP Security - Firewall, Secure Tunnels Control - Queues, Proxy, Accounting, HotSpot Fast and simple installation for base station and clients Reliable and instant 24 hour internet access Backbone link + AP This is a point to multi-point link with additional wireless cards and antenna for a backbone connection. Such links are useful when creating a WISP infrastructure, for example you have main Internet source with 5 GHz base station and lots of 2.4 GHz clients in various sides of the city. Such kits can be but in localized parts of the city and contain 2.4 GHz omnidirectional antenna and 5 GHz directional antenna to main base station.Backbone link Basic requirements to create a wireless links are: Direct Line of sight between both points of presence Distance between points of presence is: up to 25 km for point-to-multipoint links up to 70 km for point-to-point links Use of 2.4 or 5.2-5.8 GHz solutions according to the local regulations. In some countries obtaining a special license might be required.

Nstreme and Nstreme2 These are MikroTik proprietary wireless protocols to achieve outstanding performance on a very long range links. Regular wireless links will have large time delays for data traveling on a long distances, with nstreme you do not have to worry about this anymore. Nstreme 2 goes even further by using two wireless cards in each end - one for transmit and one for receive. Our customers have links of 60 km and speed of 35 Mbps without turbo mode. Nstreme WDS WDS (Wireless Distribution System) is the best way how to interconnect many access points and allow users to move around without getting disconnected from network. Using this system you can cover large areas and allow users to move for large distances while still being on-line. This system allows packets to pass from one wireless AP (Access Point) to another, just as if the APs were ports on a wired Ethernet switch. APs must use the same standard (802.11a, 802.11b or 802.11g) and work on the same frequencies in order to connect to each other.

OPENWORLD has developed a Performance Management System (PMS) that enables top managers of public service institutions and the performance contracting department to continuously monitor performance in real time, in both head offices and downstream offices throughout the country We have been delving into the intricacies surrounding preparation, bidding and procuring government tenders, hoping to bring some insight and educate the youth and you looking to apply for government tenders. In this article we look at the benefits that may be associated with government tenders as well as the downside, and how to ensure your bid is successful.  Our client, the Government of Kenya has, in the last eight years, been implementing public sector reforms that are geared towards regulating the manner, propriety and effectiveness of the services offered by public institutions. This is in recognition that the quality of these services has significant impact on, and contributes to socio-economic development and welfare of the citizens.  Earlier, our local dailies reported a warning from an enterprise lobby group. The lobby group, Emerging Enterprise, warned that young people might be sidelined on government procurement contracts for the 2013/14 fiscal year because of the government's failure to institute clear policies on how it intends to effect the 30 percent youth preference and reservation scheme, especially following the recent gazette notices asking for tender applications.  However, a representative from the Youth Enterprise Fund (YEF) clarified that quite a number of youth have already presented their applications for the advertised tenders. Recently however, the procurement entities waived the Sh.5,000 fees for application documents, YEF believes the playing ground has been leveled. Having said that, the main disadvantage, from a seller's perspective is the time and money spent on making the tender with any guarantee you will get the business.  Another disadvantage results from the competitive nature of the process. This may cause some people to cut corners as they try to land the contract. It may also lead to tenders being awarded based on costs, thus cutting off some people regardless of the quality of the material.
