Microwave connectivity is a smart, flexible way to stay connected, without the delays and high costs of laying fibre. It delivers fast, reliable, and secure internet and data links that can be set up quickly, even in hard-to-reach rural areas or busy city centres. High-capacity bandwidth, ultra-low latency, and proven resilience make Microwave links ideal for mobile backhaul, enterprise networks, and mission-critical services across utilities, transport, and government.
With the UK pushing ahead on 5G, smart infrastructure, and remote working, microwave connectivity ensures organisations stay connected, agile, and future-ready, all while reducing dependency on complex fixed infrastructure.
How Microwave Connectivity Works
Microwave communications transmit data through the air using radio waves, creating a wireless highway for calls, internet, and streaming without fibre.
-
Connects towns, cities, and entire regions instantly
-
Powers mission-critical infrastructure quietly and reliably
-
Supports secure video calls, data transfers, and control signals
- Transmits data to remote locations up to 60kms between line-of-sight relay stations.
