Designing Microwave Modems
Carriers, globally, have been using microwave links for backhauling for many decades. Microwave frequencies are also being used for 5G network access—both fixed wireless access and slow moving/nomadic connections—in many use cases. As a result, microwave modem designers have more diverse set of goals than ever before.
If you are developing wireless equipment, we understand your distinct design and deployment challenges. Our innovative technologies enable:
