Digital microwave radio systems are extensively used for mobile backhauls, local, junction and trunk networks.  With higher capacity broadband implementations such as LTE and WiMAX, microwave backhaul has gained renewed importance.  Understanding planning issues such a reliability and availability becomes even more critical.   This course covers all stages of terrestrial microwave point-to-point network build-out from initial planning and feasibility studies to system deployment.  It provides participants with the theoretical knowledge and the practical skills for planning and design of a microwave link.   Emphasis is given to practical guidelines and activities involved in putting microwave systems into operation.  It describes the process behind planning and creating a business case for a microwave network, including the advantages and disadvantages, and includes discussions that will help executives to make an informed decision about whether to build a microwave network.
