Microwave / Millimeter Wave Equipment for 5G Networks

To fulfill its multitude of promises, 5G networks are expected to draw on multiple tools and techniques. One of the most important tools in the tool kit is utilizing microwave and millimeter wave. Microwave has been traditionally used as point-to-point links with Ethernet for backhaul applications. These low cost, fiber replacement type of applications will continue to grow while new applications for microwave frequencies emerge for 5G. One of the promising new applications for microwave and millimeter wave is in mobile access; for example, a small cell with electronically steered beams for last mile connectivity.

Microsemi technologies are engineered to meet converged network needs for mobile access, wired and wireless backhaul, and cloud access. Our portfolio for designing mobile network equipment is engineered to address your carrier challenges with industry-leading technologies including:
