Also known as “fixed wireless backhaul”, licensed microwave links are becoming more popular as a result of noise interference in the unlicensed wireless spectrum, such as 2.4Ghz or 5.8GHz.

Licensed microwave wireless bridge radios provide security from the risk of wireless interference from other outdoor radio frequency systems. This is the major reason to opt for a licenced microwave link is where interference can degrade an unlicensed outdoor wireless bridge system’s performance and in some cases even prevent the system from functioning at all.
