The kWh Joins the dB?
Some leading telecommunications carriers are quietly effecting a shift in design priorities. For microwave radio, for example, output power, receive threshold, system gain and various other performance parameters (the dBs) have always been important product...
Just How Recyclable is My Radio?
Aviat Networks is working hard to reduce the landfill associated with its business activities and products and this includes ensuring that, where recycling facilities exist, customer units that have been damaged beyond repair are recycled. For example, every unit...
How Many Radio Options Are You Juggling?
Balancing cost and performance is a tough act for most operators dealing with telecom networking, especially when it comes to equipment procurement. Getting all the bells and whistles can sometimes result in having a lot of options to choose from. Often times...
Migrating Utility Networks to Smart Grid with Hybrid Radios
What is the best migration strategy for utility networks migrating to Smart Grid using Hybrid Radios? We look at the technology choices that are available to support legacy TDM and IP-based services and investigate the many demands placed on utility networks. Demands...
Microwave Capacity: Examining Techniques to Improve Throughput
Recently we've kicked off the "Aviat Technology Series" – which are a series of bi-monthly live video streaming webinars for our customers and partners, giving a detailed overview of various technology topics (these are NOT sales pitches…) Last week, Stuart Little and...
What’s The Difference between Microwave Path Availability & Error Performance?
Understand microwave path availability and error performance, their impact on networks, and best practices for optimization.
What is Asymmetrical Link Operation?
Introduction Last year one of our microwave competitors introduced a new development for the point-to-point licensed microwave market – asymmetrical link operation. There are some very real challenges with the growth of mobile multimedia that are driving interest in...
What is Mission Critical Microwave?
Public safety agencies with first responder assignments, mobile service providers with national footprints, and utilities companies all have communication networks carrying mission critical applications. These networks require robust, secure and powerful microwave...
Time for an update on Timing Solutions
Our partner, Symmetricom, recently announced the launching of a new segment of their SyncWorld ecosystem for microwave backhaul. Our hat’s off to them; this is great news for Symmetricom and the new players that are now on board. We boarded this train awhile back. ...
Migrating Mobile Networks to IP/MPLS
Typically, a small number of DS1s has been sufficient to service 2G and 2.5G base stations, but with the data capacity needed for advanced 3G and 4G HSPA/LTE applications, new strategies and even new technologies being evaluated. More network capacity translates to...
4 Realities about Rain Fading in Microwave Networks
Rain fading (also referred to as rain attenuation) at the higher microwave frequencies (“millimeter wave” bands) has been under study for more than 60 years. Much is known about the qualitative aspects, but the problems faced by microwave transmission engineers—who...
Fiber Isn’t Everything: Key Role of Microwave in Mobile Backhaul
Last year in August, Aviat Networks presented its argument for why fiber optics technology isn't everything where backhaul of wireless networks is concerned. If anything, this point has only been reinforced by analyses and anecdotal stories showing that fiber can be...
