Frequently Asked Questions:

Q:	How far can microwave signals travel?
A:	Typical microwave path lengths can be up to 60 kilometers. The path lengths are related to the path reliability required by the user, antenna diameters, and the rainfall characteristics of the area.
Q:	How many locations can be reached from a central point in a microwave system?
A:	Multiple digital microwave radios may be installed at a single location. At this central location, the digital microwave radio antennae may be aimed in several directions, provided there is no interference to/from microwave systems.
Q:	How can interference from other microwave systems be avoided?
A:	Before a microwave link can be installed, the planning and engineering of the path must be completed to ensure that the system won't interfere or be interfered with by any other system. The length of a path depends on: terrain, path reliability requirements, frequency band of operation, prevailing weather conditions, and antenna size.
Q:	Can a microwave signal shoot through glass, buildings or trees?
A:	Microwave signals require a clear, direct path (line of sight.)
Q:	Is it possible to send microwave signals over water?
A:	Microwave signals can travel over water, engineered for the tides, height of each antenna, signal strength, and frequency band.
