Global Microwave Network Equipment Market Definition

Microwave is a type of electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths ranging from about one meter to one millimeter and frequencies ranging from 300 MHz to 300 GHz. For point-to-point telecommunications, microwave technology has been widely employed (i.e. non-broadcast uses). Microwaves are particularly suited for this application because they can be focused into narrower beams than radio waves, allowing frequency reuse; their higher frequencies facilitate broad bandwidth and high data transmission rates, and antenna sizes are smaller than at lower frequencies because antenna size is inversely proportional to the transmitted frequency. Microwaves are utilized in spacecraft communication, and microwaves are used to transfer most of the world’s data, television, and phone communications over great distances between ground stations and communications satellites.

Microwave Internet, also known as radio shot, WiMAX, wifi link, wireless internet, or our own product IVM, is an internet connection delivered over the ‘last mile’ using a high-capacity microwave radio link (internet via microwave). It has the advantage of not requiring any customer infrastructure (other than electricity), such as cables, ducts, or phone lines. Wireless networks, which provide ubiquitous, high-bandwidth access regardless of the user’s location, are at the core of contemporary communication. While the word “wireless” may indicate that all communication takes place over the air, it is actually just the last mile from the radio tower to the end-user device that is done so. The majority of communication is still conducted through wires. The radio towers in this scenario act as collection devices, collecting wireless calls and data that are then relayed, or “backhauled,” to the communication network’s core for further processing. Backhaul links serve as the wireless communication network’s veins and arteries in this role.

Global Microwave Network Equipment Market Overview

The expansion of backhaul bandwidth is a major factor driving the global Microwave Network Equipment market. Microwave transmission equipment includes a split-mount platform with cross-polarization interference cancellation and Ethernet frame header compression technologies for DM/Hybrid/Packet/Route microwave transmission. Mobile operators generally employ microwave network equipment devices associated with construction microwave backhaul systems that are compatible across different network nodes and have high node capacity and enhanced packet functionality.

Customers in the global Microwave Network Equipment market select vendors depending on price-to-performance ratio, product reliability, and after-sale service and support. Microwave is an important part of today’s backhaul networks, and they will continue to evolve as part of the 5G ecosystem. The transition from leased to self-built backhaul is a continuous focus for major operators. This is one of the notable trends that is expected to boost microwave deployment, contributing to the global Microwave Network Equipment market’s growth. Microwave networks have the same reliability as fiber networks while requiring less maintenance. They are a cost-effective network type in rural areas and areas where fiber network penetration is limited. These factors are expected to propel the global Microwave Network Equipment market forward. Continuous focus by mobile operators to enhance the performance of their networks owing to the microwave will continue to be the preferred transmission medium of choice for mobile networks. This fuels the growth of the market.

However, the high development cost is the restraint, which is likely to limit the progression of the global Microwave Network Equipment market.

Furthermore, devices that can monitor, troubleshoot, and report Ethernet services at the link and service layer are getting more functionality from vendors all the time. Over the next forecasted years, these add-on features are likely to accelerate its expansion. Over the projected period, market players may gain a competitive advantage by investing in R&D and new product development.

Global Microwave Network Equipment MarketSegmentation Analysis

The Global Microwave Network Equipment Market is segmented on the basis of Product, Application, and Geography.

Global Microwave Network Equipment Market is segmented into 6-20 GHz, 21-30 GHz, 31–56 GHz, and Above 57 GHz on the basis of Product. The 6-20 GHz segment is expected to grow during the forecasted years. A parallel backup link can be installed alongside a rain fade prone higher bandwidth connection in terrestrial point-to-point microwave systems spanning from 11 GHz to 80 GHz. A major link, such as an 80GHz 1 Gbit/s full duplex microwave bridge, may be projected to have a 99.9% availability rate over a year in this configuration.

Microwave Network Equipment Market, By Application

• 4G and 5G Mobile Backhaul• 3G Backhaul Aggregation• Leased Line Replacement• Enterprise Networks• Others

The global Microwave Network Equipment Market is segmented into 4G and 5G Mobile Backhaul, 3G Backhaul Aggregation, Leased Line Replacement, Enterprise Networks, and Others on the basis of Application. 5G wireless backhaul, or wireless transport as some name it, is a wireless means of linking broadband sites to the core network. This is a typical approach to connecting a radio access network (RAN) tail site (e.g., a base station, eNodeB/eNB, or gNodeB/gNB) to the mobile network core without having to deploy optical fibre in mobile networks. When high-speed wireline access to telecom locations is unavailable (usually via fibre optics), quick deployment is necessary, and a cost-effective alternative is required, it is used. By 2025, nearly 38% of all worldwide telecom sites will be connected to the rest of the network through wireless backhaul, according to a 5G Microwave Report.

Microwave Network Equipment Market, By Geography
