Microwave Transmission Equipment Market Analysis

Microwave is a line-of-sight wireless communication technique that enables high-speed wireless connections with the ability to send and receive data, video, and phone calls using high-frequency radio wave beams. Deep space radio communications, satellite communications, and point-to-point communication systems on Earth all frequently use microwave radio transmission. Radars, radio navigation systems, sensor systems, and radio astronomy employ other portions of the microwave radio range.

Microwave Transmission Equipment Market Overview

Service providers are being compelled to increase their mobile backhaul capacity using both fiber/copper and wireless technologies due to the explosive growth in mobile data traffic that is being driven by 4G and 5G. Investments in 5G infrastructure are gaining momentum globally. Moreover, data traffic is on the rise; this necessitates the development of backhaul solutions involving microwave transmission equipment. This is driving the market growth.

Microwave Transmission Equipment Market Drivers and Opportunities

Rising Investments in 5G Transmission to Favor the Market

5G aims to give users access to more than 100 Mbps anywhere, at any time. A 5G base station's average and peak bandwidths will be ten times higher than those of 4G networks, coming in at over 1 Gbps and 10 Gbps, respectively. The advancement of microwave technologies has led to a rise in microwave bandwidth from Mbps to Gbps. Microwave bandwidth will enable 10 Gbps as more innovative technologies are introduced, including multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO), carrier aggregation (CA), large-capacity E-band, and combining of common-band with E-band. This will fully cover the bandwidth requirements for 5G bearing. Over two million microwave devices have been installed globally. In the era of 5G, microwaves must make the most of their existing equipment by minimally replacing parts (such as boards and ODUs). In addition to safeguarding operators' initial investment, this expedites the development of 5G.

Application of SDN in Microwave Transmission

In December 2021, a significant advancement was made in the deployment and management of software-defined networking (SDN) for microwave networks by Ericsson and Telefónica Germany / O2. To enable the communication service provider (CSP) to deploy a vendor-agnostic SDN interface in their nationwide O2 network, Ericsson enabled its MINI-LINK microwave product portfolio in the O2 network. Thus there are opportunities in the market for the service providers to enhance network flexibility and scalability using SDN in microwave transmission.
