CableFree MW Link installed on a telecom

tower

Microwave links are widely used for


connectivity in modern digital IP
networks. With capacities up to 3Gbps and
beyond, a modern Microwave Link
network can deliver bandwidth in a
reliable, cost-effective and flexible manner
without need for disruption and delay
caused by digging up streets and avoiding
costly leased-line or leased fibre optic
alternatives.

On this website you can find more


information about radio link deployment
and technology. Also we invite you to

CableFree MW Radio Links used for Mobile


Backhaul

Microwave links are used extensively in 4G/LTE


backhaul networks, 2G (GSM) and 3G (UMTS)
mobile operators, wireless metropolitan area
networks (Wi-MAN) and corporate networks where
high performance, flexibility, speed of deployment
and low operating costs are required. Key features
of links include high spectral efficiency (256QAM,
1024QAM, 2048QAM and 4096QAM), Automatic
Transmit Power Control (ATPC) and Adaptive
Coding and Modulation (ACM).

Globally, MW radio links are used for around 60%


of all mobile backhaul connections due to the
compelling technical and commercial arguments in
favour of MW radio compared to leased line and trenched fibre alternatives. Speed of
deployment and flexibility the ability to move sites or provision rapidly are greatly
in favour of MW radio over fibre and cabled alternatives.

Iraq with 880Mbps Full Duplex Capacity

A link typically features a radio unit and a parabolic antenna, which may vary in size
from 30cm up to 4m diameter depending on required distance and capacity. The radio
unit is generally either a Full Outdoor, Split Mount or Full Indoor design
depending on operator preference, deployment, features and available indoor space for
specific sites and installation.
