Microwave transmission solutions
Microwave applications. G3 and G4 microwave backhaul
Mobile operators are trying to follow increasing demands for faster packet transmission. However, the residual G2 part of the network still has to run simultaneously. Consequently, in most cases both TDM and packed microwave transmission are necessary. Often, there are nodes to which optical fibres just cannot reach.

Microwave Solutions in Oil Industry - Data and Voice Transmission Along Gas Pipes
Oil and gas pipelines are a very specific part of industry. Laying fibre optics along a gas pipeline is very risky. In specific conditions, in Siberia for example, permafrost can easily damage the fibre optics cable. Besides that, fibre optics are exposed to civil works, very often taking place along pipelines. Distance between the pipeline and the fibre optics track should be significant in order to avoid the cable from being collateral damage of civil works.

Microwave Links in Power Distribution - Providing Telecommunications in Power Distribution Networks
Monitoring and remote control of power production and distribution systems include a certain number of very critical elements, requiring a network infrastructure with extremely reliable features. For this reason, Iskra Sistemi has equipped standard optical and radio telecommunication systems with many additional features. Availability is crucial for all power companies. So when talking about microwave radio, choice of radio protective schemes is practically mandatory. In case of one transmitter failure, for example, system is able to switch over to the hot standby within 50 ms. Transmission speed is less important than extremely high availability.

Enterprise Microwave Backup - Implementing Disaster Recovery Connectivity // Ad-hoc Networking
In case of a natural disaster and/or special or ad-hoc events out of urban environment, microwaves are definitely the best choice to assure data transmission quickly. Earthquakes, floods, land-slides and other natural disasters or even war conditions require disaster recovery centres for uninterrupted business continuity on separate backup locations, where important data are to be stored and refreshed periodically. Microwaves are suitable to connect the main and back up centres, since fibres can be (and usually are) damaged or cut off.

Microwave Solutions in no Line of Sight Conditions
In case where there is no line of sight it is possible to establish a microwave link using the SparkWave Active Repeater. Due to the low power consumption it can be powered by solar power. In this way there are no requirements for electric power supply or any facility: the AR with solar powering can be mounted directly on a mast.
