Microwave Radio Technology Advantages
Transport Industry
The transportation industry often operates structured networks resulting of decades of layering technologies. Often in need of ad-hoc solutions and with the need of supporting specific interfaces or performances needs
Operations:
- Reduce maintenance cost of existing heterogeneous and aging networks
- Cope with deployment of new packet-based and bandwidth-hungry applications
- Guarantee high network security level form external intrusion
Safety:
- New international regulations on safety and security
- Guarantee the safety and security of personnel, passengers and assets
- Facilitate the coordination of multiple safety agencies in case of an accident
Passengers:
- Passengers expecting to stay connected all the time while travelling
- Adoption of new services and digital transformation to address and satisfy passengers needs

Energy Sector
Utilities are increasing the demand for networks capable of providing real time supervision of their infrastructure. Strong Digital Transformation especially for smart cities and smart grid applications. Oil&Gas industries require monitoring of their activities from E&P (exploration and production) to Downstream, transporting the oil and gas from the extraction point to the distribution network.
Operations:
- Deploying from Urban to rural and remote locations needs terrain independent solution
- Not always offering shelter/cabinet for equipment
- Often limited space for equipment
Safety:
- Sensitive information need high level of security
- Remote location may be difficult to reach, hardware need high redundancy
Customers:
- Adoption of new services and digital transformation to address and satisfy passengers needs
An IP infrastructure solution is key to enables new services to the users bettering the reliability and efficiency of energy distribution while bringing saving in OPEX costs. As part of this new infrastructure the IP Microwave offers flexibility and a better control of the network.
Mission Critical Applications
Wireless solution is a key to Mission Critical applications whether blue-lights network, environmental or border control, health and safety networks. Bandwidth not always concern number one, but reliability, redundancy and latency may prove to be the key factors. Public Safety networks are used for constant monitoring to prevent and manage risks related to the population.
Operations:
- Deploying from Urban to Rural environments
- Limited space and low-key visual appearance
- May be employed as fast mean of restoring communication in disaster recovery situations
Safety:
- Sensitive traffic needs encryption
- Equipment supervision needs high safety levels and controlled access to the management systems.
Customers:
- Expects always on service

Internet Service Providers
Internet Service Providers (ISPs) has been booming with the growing adoption of full outdoor solutions and advancements of integrated interworking technologies like IP/MPLS and HQoS management. Often building networks in green filed environment and with limited infrastructure to reach the most isolated villages.
Operations:
- Deploying in any environments
- Not always offering shelter/cabinet for equipment, favouring rooftop deployments
- As little hardware to site as possible and lowest power consumption are of value
- Often using unlicensed solutions when available
Reliance:
- Aiming for high equipment reliability
- Strong in-house engineering skills to self-manage and support the network
- High capacity systems to foresee network expansions with limited to no field visit
Customers:
- Expects always on service, often representing the only service option when targeting isolated communities
