Microwave Point to Point
Trumpet designs, installs, and maintains high capacity microwave networks for organizations seeking a cost-effective alternative or supplement to expensive leased line circuits.
"Fiber-like" Microwave
Through the latest in point-to-point microwave technology, Trumpet’s solutions can deliver 10 – 2,500 Mbps at 99.99%+ availability over distances of 30 ft to 30 miles and extend across the globe as extensions to existing fiber networks.
Because the viability of microwave networks is based on the geography and terrain of each and every link, you need an experienced expert to engineer your network. While the work may be more involved than a basic leased line, the benefits can greatly outweigh the negatives. With Trumpet, you have the option of either microwave, leased fiber, or both!
Reliability
Trumpet’s custom microwave solutions are engineered to withstand high winds, heavy rains, snow, sleet, and fog with an average availability of 99.99%+. Because we only use carrier-grade equipment, we expect that our manufacturer’s equipment, as confirmed by third-party testing, will last at least 15+ years of full operation. In some cases, we have see equipment with expected life of 80+ years.
Security
Despite the stigma of "wireless" WiFi networks in the past, point-to-point microwave systems are much different and much more secure than the neighbor’s wireless Internet signal.
First, microwave uses a narrow-beam technology that focuses the radio waves toward its target area with a beamwidth of 0.1 to 4 degrees, which is in contrast to the wide beam wireless Internet service provider signals, cell phone sector antennas, and WiFi access points.
Second, each microwave link has two pre-registered radios that can only transmit to and from each another, which is authenticated with each device's MAC address.
Lastly, some radios come with real-time 128- and 256-bit AES encryption, which stands as the government standard for data encryption.
Trusted Adviser
Trumpet’s range of solutions and technology-neutral stance permits it to provide the best overall value for its customers in all aspects of data transport, including WiMAX. This allows Trumpet to be a trusted advisor to its customers, developing long-term business relationships by providing superior value and service.
Monitoring
In addition to WiMAX design and implementation, Trumpet provides 24x7 LAN/WAN monitoring and reporting for all of its networks. Monitoring allows Trumpet to stand by its installation with verifiable results and a lasting relationship with its customers. Trumpet’s monitoring solution offers the customer the ability to see a 360-degree view of its network, including device health and performance, application log management, security and correlation, and automated network compliance.
About Microwave
Although microwave has been used for mission-critical communications and data transmission since the 1940’s, remarkable advances in technology in the last 5 years have allowed Trumpet to offer custom solutions with full confidence that the network infrastructure will operate efficiently and effectively for the next several years.
The Trumpet Networks microwave solutions operate in the 4.9 Ghz public safety band, license-exempt 5.2 – 5.8 Ghz, FCC-licensed 6 – 23 Ghz, license-exempt 24 Ghz, and 60 – 80 Ghz range of the electromagnetic spectrum.
To operate effectively, microwave solutions require as little obstruction in the transmission pathway as possible. In most cases, clear line-of-sight is required to deliver high capacity bandwidth with a predictable availability and performance level. Line of sight not only means a clear view from antenna to antenna, it also means full Fresnel zone clearance along the pathway. The Fresnel zone is the elliptical-shaped propagation path of the microwaves as they travel from the transmission antenna to the receiver antenna. Trumpet can help to determine Fresnel zone clearance levels for the microwave link.
Because of their flexibility in design, scalability, and price, point to point and point to multipoint microwave systems are currently being used by government agencies and municipalities, military operations around the world, hospitals and medical campuses, universities and K-12 school districts, enterprise and small businesses, police and fire departments, and many more organizations that need to deliver data and communications from one location to another.
