    Massive Capacity Can Be Easier with 4G-Optimized Microwave Backhaul

    End user demand for ubiquitous broadband connectivity, to support a range of new applications and devices, is driving the next generation of mobile networks including LTE and WiMAX. As these deployments begin to take shape, operators will be reevaluating their backhaul networks to ensure t...

    The Big Skinny

    Network operators are caught between the demand for higher capacity on one hand, and the need to reduce their cost per bit on the other. DragonWave’s newest packet microwave solution directly responds to this daunting challenge...

    Engineering for the Effects of Rain & Fog on DragonWave’s Microwave Systems

    This paper is intended to illustrate that the predominant propagation impairment of microwave frequencies higher than 11 GHz is due to rain fall and that the effects of fog are relatively small in comparison. In addition, this paper will explore how the effects of rain can be engineered ag...

    Expand your Footprint, Extend your Reach - A Real Network Case Study

    This white paper provides an overview of the use of DragonWave’s Horizon Compact mesh networking solution to the application of connecting a select group of end-customer building sites (~ 300) within Phoenix. The network solution employs resilient, high-availability, performance wirele...

    No Barriers. No Borders. Breaking the Backhaul Burden for 4G Networks

    As 4G broadband networks begin to be deployed worldwide, there is a growing concern that backhaul will represent an increasing portion of the total life cycle cost of a network. The bandwidth requirements of emerging services are driving a need for much lower cost per bit from the backhaul...

    Breaking the Capacity Barrier - Network Scaling with Horizon

    The hunger for increased mobile bandwidth is driving the rollout of new 4G access technologies, primarily WiMAX and LTE. These are generating extremely high Ethernet backhaul bandwidth requirements, with growth anywhere from 10 to 100 times the capacity of existing systems. At the same ti...
