Improve communication between buildings with our quality microwave links.

Do you need to communicate between multiple locations instantly without having to worry about data latency or cable issues? If so, you might be interested in learning more about our microwave communication link in Australia, which utilises state-of-the-art technology to transmit large quantities of data across short or long distances without the use of cables. No excavation work required to lay underground wires reduces the installation cost of your crucial communication network, and there’s no better company to trust for the task than us.

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.

What Sets Wave1 Apart Regarding Microwave Links

Just some reasons why you can trust our technicians to set up your microwave communication link include:

  • Decades of industry experience: We’ve been industry leaders in microwave links for over three decades, making us one of the most highly experienced companies in Australia. We always stay on top of the latest developments to ensure we can provide solutions of unrivalled quality. All our senior engineers have been with us for over 20 years, and we only employ the most talented technicians in the nation to make sure the quality of our service is second to none.
  • Our ability to cater to all requirements: Over the years, we’ve installed microwave communication links for state governments, Telcos, education organisations, large corporations and more. We can set up microwave communication links between multiple buildings across kilometres. Regardless of what your requirements are, you can count on us to deliver.
  • Our commitment to customer care: We aim for 100% satisfaction with every client we serve, which is why we’ve remained market leaders for so long. When you choose Wave1, you gain a partner for life. If you ever experience problems, you won’t have to wait around for days for help to arrive, and you can’t say the same about many fibre optic network providers.

Related Services We Provide to Microwave Links

We’re the go-to company for all requirements regarding wireless microwave communications, but some of our most popular services include:

  • Licensed and unlicensed microwave communication links: With a licensed microwave communication link, only your organisation can use the frequency to which your network is set, but you need to obtain a permit before installation. Unlicensed solutions don’t require a licence, but there’s a small chance an external signal could interfere with yours. We mitigate this risk by performing a comprehensive frequency survey while designing your network.
  • Site surveys and assessments: In addition to frequency checks, we also survey your premises and its surrounds to make sure line of sight is achieved. We can perform these surveys routinely so that we can adapt your network if new structures become a nuisance.
  • 24/7 line monitoring: Because we monitor your lines around the clock, we’re likely to notice problems before you even know they exist.

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 impossible or prohibitively expensive, we provide a high-speed alternative. This capability is essential for the mining and infrastructure sectors, which require instant, reliable connectivity across demanding environments.

About Wave1

At Wave1, we’ve established ourselves as industry leaders thanks to being Australia’s pioneers of microwave communication technology for the past three decades. We’ve never let a client down before, and we don’t intend to start now. If you want to find out how we can seamlessly connect all the buildings in your organisation, call your local office to book a consultation.

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 communication 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.
