Multiband backhaul links consist of running multiple channels at different frequency bands on a single link to improve capacity and reliability. Currently there are several products in the market (or in development) that are using a combination of E-band and microwave frequencies. An alternative is to take advantage of the larger channels of higher frequency bands (ex: 32 GHz) and better RF performance of lower frequency bands (Ex: 11 GHz) within the traditional microwave range.

TIA 222 standard provides tower designers with the design criteria and analysis procedures to design telecommunication tower structures. Rev-H is the latest version in a standard with a long evolution. The TIA-222 tower standard is critical to the safety and maximum equipment loads that structures can support. Rev-H was finalized late in 2017 and will take effect in most jurisdictions within the next two years. Continue reading →
