IP Microwave STLs

Originally streamed in 2018

Overview

Broadcasters have been needing and asking the FCC for more channels and bandwidth for years now. We need more! With the growth of HD audio and video the need for reliable STLs continues to grow every year.

In August 2011 the FCC abolished the last link rule opening Part 101 licensed frequencies to broadcasters. Finally the FCC has opened new frequencies that can be used for reliable STLs. These frequencies like 950MHz, 7GHz, and 13GHz are licensed frequencies but with the ability to run high-speed, bidirectional data rates. These frequencies have the ability to provide up to 1Gb of bidirectional throughput to your transmission sites.

This webinar will inform you on these new licensed frequencies and the design dos and don’ts for these frequencies. The webinar also looks at a live path profile showing what can be done today.
