Over the years we’ve utilized a variety of technologies – ranging from microwave, cable modem services and standard telecom services. Of all these technologies, RADWIN’s microwave solutions have proven to be the most reliable, cost effective and robust for our growing bandwidth needs. With RADWIN links we can provide high-capacity connectivity to the edge sites and support a range of applications from day-to-day data transfer, security applications, building controls, video, security and more.”

David Bassanello at Transwave Communications Systems, stated: “We assessed the needs of the Syracuse Housing Authority and found that a major boost in bandwidth was required to support all their properties.

These highly reliable and robust links provide up to 50 Mbps Full Duplex Ethernet connectivity over a wide range of path lengths. RADWIN’s radios also incorporate an advanced multi-band feature that supports multiple bands in the same radio, including 4.9 GHz, 2.4 GHz and the three 5 GHz frequency bands.”
