The critical importance of microwave transmission technology in severe environments cannot be overstated. It is not merely a tool of convenience but a vital component of resilience, enabling uninterrupted communication where it is most needed. As we face increasing environmental volatility, investing in and improving microwave infrastructure is both a practical and forward-looking necessity.
Critical Networks demand reliability from today’s microwave transmission link technology and one of the most essential elements to any microwave point-to-point path are its antennas. These antennas must be reliable, professional grade, rugged designs able to weather a wide array of environmental conditions, all while achieving operational and survival performance for years and even decades. The Alaris mWAVE antenna series for severe environments meet and surpass these requirements and have been field proven for decades.
The severe environment series antennas are available in pre-configured designs and custom configurations. The pre-configured models are designed for wind survival ratings of 255 kmh / 150 mph and 322 kmh / 200 mph. These products are designed and constructed with heavy duty reinforced reflectors, heavy duty rims, boxed rims, reflector mount struts and reinforced mount and wind-brace struts. Heavy-duty PTFE Planar and Conical Fiberglass radomes are included. In addition to these pre-configured engineered enhancements all our antenna models can be further engineered and manufactured to meet your site’s specific needs.
Alaris mWAVE’s standard, pre-configured and custom antenna lines are engineered to take on all environments and are deployed worldwide. They are operational on mountain tops with the highest recorded winds, coldest temperatures and the heaviest snow and ice conditions. They are also installed in marine environments including shipboard, oil rigs, corrosive industrial sites and in areas of extreme temperatures ranging from -60°C to 185°C and are the go-to antennas that deliver performance without compromise.
We understand that not all site environmental conditions are created equal and strongly urge you to speak with us about your specific requirements when considering one of our antennas. We have decades of experience in engineering severe environment antennas that go beyond a harsh environment to the extreme
Advances in microwave engineering have significantly improved system resilience. Modern microwave systems incorporate adaptive modulation, error correction, and robust frequency planning to maintain signal integrity despite interference from rain, snow, or high winds. High-frequency microwave bands, once considered less reliable in adverse weather, can now be engineered with redundancy and diversity schemes to ensure performance even under duress.
Therefore, don’t hesitate to contact Alaris mWAVE for your microwave antenna requirements.
