Successfully Implementing a 193-km Microwave Link over Water to Deliver 99.9995 Percent Availability Introduction For most designers of microwave transmission paths, engineering a reliable link over water can be a daunting task. Reflections off the water surface can...
[scribd id=52720546 key=key-1p6xztqwntxihuxv914d mode=list] Synchronization is creating quite a stir in the mobile backhaul industry as operators are wrestling with a variety of synchronization technology options including Synchronous Ethernet (SyncE) and Precision...

If you are reading this post, then you probably have heard about “4G”, the 4th generation cellular network. For a cell phone user, 4G means improved data speeds that allow faster delivery of multimedia-based applications, see our previous post, What is 4G?, for more...
[scribd id=52719559 key=key-vc6prfla3nds6tz2w4q mode=list] Joint Application Note with Symmetricom and Aviat Networks. Mobile Backhaul Networks are evolving to packet, driven by 4G evolution, requiring high data and video traffic and growing number of apps, users,...
The beauty of IEEE 1588v2 (i.e., Precision Time Protocol) synchronization is that it is a bookended solution. In theory, there is no need to worry about what is in between or underneath—from a Layer 1 transport perspective. While in principle this is accurate, there...
How Important is Initial CAPEX? Are we seeing the forest or the trees? Based on microwave Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) model posted earlier, the most significant contributor to total cost is ongoing OPEX. We see an increasing trend of operators making decisions on...
When choosing the right backhaul technology, total cost of a microwave system is a critical, often overlooked, consideration. TCO is not widely understood today. Lack of understanding of microwave TCO can lead to poor decisions about choice in backhaul technology and...
I must have counted nearly 30 vendors during the opening day at Mobile World Congress this year who are promoting some form of wireless backhaul solution. It seems like instead of consolidating the market it continues to expand and fragment like never before. Ten or...
Here at Aviat Networks we are focused on everything that is wireless transmission. With so much happening in the wireless industry, we wanted to join in the conversation and share our experiences and insights on the trends, technology, and business. If you are reading...
