- Wind Farms and Microwave Links – Are They Incompatible?
Early experience with wind farms and microwave links 30 years ago showed that windmills could interfere with microwave transmissions, but windmill and radio technology have changed considerably since then. Today, microwave planners may be taking extraordinary measures to avoid windmill farms—increasing CapEx and OpEx in the process —and these measures may be unnecessary.

Strong Security on Eclipse Packet Node
Even though microwave communications have some built-in security-like features such as scrambling, narrow beamwidth, proprietary airframe, coding and other factors, it is not very hard for them to be broken by those with the proper expertise. Some vendors even openly offer commercial microwave interception systems for “legitimate” monitoring. This and the growing sophistication and willingness of those attempting to break into wireless networks makes a high level of security for microwave more important than ever...

White Paper
Is the Backhaul Really the Bottleneck for LTE
The popularity of smart phones and tablets, motivated by the launch of the iPhone (2007) and the iPad (2010) have created a dramatic increase in mobile data consumption. The need to provide higher throughputs at the base station level to serve this demand has concerned operators, equipment vendors and industry watchers about a possible bottleneck in the backhaul network...
White Paper
Microwave Backhaul for Public Safety LTE
Public safety agencies are soon to experience a dramatic improvement in communications capabilities enabled by advances in technology. New broadband multimedia applications will give first responders and commanders alike far better situational awareness, and thereby improve both the effectiveness and safety of all personnel charged with protecting the public...
