Security and reliability in wireless networks
The physical characteristics of microwave makes traffic interception a formidable task. Any person or organisation wishing to try to intercept data traveling across your network would encounter considerable problems when trying to intercept the data. Not only does the physical location of antennas and narrow, directional RF beam act as a significant barrier to interception; but even if the beam could be intercepted, the frequency and signalling protocol challenges makes compromising your traffic, virtually impossible. Just ask yourself this question, 'If the Police forces have confidence in the security of microwave, why shouldn’t you?'
Microwave radio is used to backhaul TETRA, the standard that governs the digital radio communications used by government, public safety, emergency services and the military forces in more than 70 countries, and has become the de facto standard where communications affect public welfare and security.
Microwave radio networks are inherently more fault tolerant than copper or fibre networks which rely on a continuous connection every inch of the way. Buried cabling (by comparison) is vulnerable to accidental excavation, vandalism and sabotage.
MLL's radio hardware has a manufacturer's Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF) of 40 years with a minimum availability of 99.95‰ and can deliver up to 99.999‰ availability where needed. We also have demonstrable track records with customers where we consistently deliver 100‰ availability.
