Underground Cabling infrastructure is not required helping reduce installation costs for your communication network. Our team delivers dependable, engineered solutions tailored to your operational needs.

Microwave Communication Link

Point-to-Point vs Point-to-Multipoint Configurations

Wave1 designs bespoke network architectures to suit your specific organisational structure. A point-to-point setup creates a dedicated, high-capacity microwave communication bridge between two fixed locations, ideal for high-speed data backhaul. Alternatively, a point-to-multipoint configuration allows a central hub, such as a head office in the Sydney or Melbourne CBD, to connect seamlessly to multiple satellite warehouses or site offices.

Related Services We Provide to Wireless Microwave Links

We provide a range of services supporting wireless microwave communications, including:

  • Licensed and unlicensed microwave communication links: Licensed links use a dedicated frequency and require regulatory approval before installation, while unlicensed links can be deployed more quickly, with frequency planning used to reduce the risk of interference.
  • Site surveys and assessments: We carry out site surveys to confirm line of sight and identify environmental factors that may affect performance. These assessments support accurate network design and help maintain long-term reliability.
  • 24/7 link monitoring: We monitor network performance around the clock to identify faults and irregularities early. This supports faster response times and helps maintain reliable day-to-day operation.

Custom Wireless Solutions for Challenging Australian Terrains

Wave1 provides versatile microwave communication solutions designed to overcome the physical barriers of the Australian landscape. Whether your project involves spanning rivers, crossing major highways without the need for complex digging permits or reaching remote construction sites, our technology delivers.

In cities like Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane, where underground trenching is often geographically impractical or cost-prohibitive, we provide a high-speed alternative. This capability is essential for the mining and infrastructure sectors, which require instant, reliable connectivity across demanding environments, with microwave transmission supporting consistent performance where traditional infrastructure is limited.

FAQs

What is microwave communication, and how does it work?

Microwave communication is a high-frequency wireless transmission method that uses electromagnetic waves, typically between 1 GHz and 300 GHz, to send data between two fixed points. According to the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), these signals travel in narrow beams requiring a clear line of sight. Data is modulated onto high-frequency carriers to enable high-speed throughput for voice, video and internet services without physical cabling.

What are microwave links, and where are they used?

A microwave link is a dedicated point-to-point system designed to bridge data across specific geographical locations. These links act as the backhaul for modern telecommunications. Microwave links are essential for connecting mobile towers, linking corporate offices in metropolitan centres like Sydney and Melbourne and providing critical data paths where ground-based infrastructure is unavailable.

What are the advantages of microwave transmission compared to other transmission methods?

Microwave systems offer rapid deployment as they do not require physical trenching or extensive council approvals. They are highly cost-efficient for Australian businesses, avoiding the massive capital expenditure required to lay private fibre across difficult terrain.

What are the limitations and requirements of microwave communication?

Effective microwave communication requires an unobstructed line of sight, as physical barriers like buildings or vegetation can degrade the signal. Atmospheric conditions, such as heavy rain, can also cause rain fade, a phenomenon where rainfall absorbs and scatters microwave signals, potentially causing reduced signal strength and temporary loss of connection.

However, these limitations can typically be mitigated through careful planning and proper WAN network design. With appropriate link budgeting, equipment selection and redundancy measures in place, potential disruptions can be minimised. In many cases, atmospheric effects are minor and occur without noticeable impact to end users.
