Broadband Microwave
Modern transmission networks must fulfill a large number of requirements for global telecommunications, extending from the usual analogue telephone to multimedia services, from sparsely-populated rural areas to densely populated large cities and from the lowest to the highest data rates.

In basic networks SDH radio systems ensure an effective solution as a back-up system for optical networks and a cost-effective alternative for high to medium traffic capacities. For fast setup of new connections, the use of microwave radio connections is on the increase. Be this in the urban access area, or to ensure that business customers have direct network access, microwave systems are suitable for medium to small traffic capacities. The frequency range extends from around 1 GHz to 58 GHz, the transmission rate lies between 2 Mbit/s and nx155 Mbit/s and ranges vary between a few kilometers to around 100 kilometers.

Because this radio spectrum cannot be expanded, it is coming under increased pressure to carry more traffic. The worldwide introduction of digital mobile communications is causing concerns of a spectrum drought on several continents. Of late, industry comments have shown that spectrum and bandwidth will become a tradable commodity in the near term, fetching high prices because of supply and demand.

Point-to-point fixed microwave services cater to trunked communications of digital data from point A to point B. Too much emphasis is placed on computer speed and last mile delivery. Much of this is done without any comprehension of the vital RF links, which are the infrastructure trunking networks that join the ends.

Business Benefits
Virtual private networks (VPN's) make it possible for banks, hospitals, governments, emergency services, security, and military to handle communications needs and, therefore, bypass often slow or overloaded public networks. Wireless networks cater to the future by providing broadband and 3G trunking solutions. This technology is a wireless cable in the sky that, when compared to cable, can be deployed rapidly and at significantly less cost when compared to cable roll out. With this type of technology, rapid return on investment is achieved. And as higher data demand increases, traffic load system applications can be easily upgraded both in terms of time and expenditure.
