Microwave Radio

MICROWAVE RADIO SYSTEM

A microwave radio link is a communication system that uses a beam of radio waves in the microwave frequency range to transmit data and voice or even video information between two locations.

It provides persistent connectivity with higher capacity and lower latency than satellite solutions, at a far lower deployment cost than fibre cables. Hence, the microwave radio link is frequently used for long distance transmission whereby cable pulling is costly and not feasible. It is also a reliable communication method that widely used for offshore communications between vessels/platforms.

Based on sophisticated field study and analysis, Comm-Spec EG offers customized microwave radio link solutions exactly what clients need. Our innovative technologies and expertise ensure highest reliability and performance, secure, cost-effective connectivity that is easy to deploy and built to last.

The Integra-E: Having the same Integra family characteristics of high-reliability, carrier grade features, performance and a 5-year warranty extends the Integra family into the E-band frequencies, delivering 10 Gbps capacity. The Integra-E supports Adaptive Code Modulation and Bandwidth (ACMB) in which the coding rate, modulation and bandwidth changes are set in real time based on the link’s conditions. This feature enables significant increase in payload capacity and link availability. ACMB switching is hitless, that is, the link stays locked, and data is transmitted without errors. In most countries E-band radios are easy to deploy with no or minimal licensing requirements thus reducing time of deployment and Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).

Integra-E is a great microwave radio communications system for top quality, high capacity backhaul networks.
