Advantages of using SIAE Microelettronica in South Africa

SIAE Microelettronica in South Africa offers highly reliable full outdoor IP carrier-grade microwave solution combined with MiRO’s ability to precisely plan microwave links for backhaul networking deployments. Using licensed frequency bands, SIAE’s hardware reduces the competition that causes high interference in the shared spectrum. With the variety of frequency ranges that SIAE ODUs are available in, customers have the advantage of selecting hardware that will perform at high uptimes based on the environmental parameters that are unique to their region. By considering line of sight, link obstructions and regional rainfall levels, MiRO will assist you in selecting the correct frequency and antenna size during the pre-planning stage of the link. Network performance and link stability can be fine-tuned against degradation by use of adaptive code modulation, high bandwidth availability with dedicated channel separation and automatic transmit power control.
