Networking

Fibre Optic solutions are supported with components designed into Industrial or leading edge Optical Receivers, Amplifiers, Modulators or Transmitters at 10G and 40G transmission rates.

Microwave Marketing is very active in the networking market and can support aspects of networking for wireless and optical networks and include components for fibre optic networks, timing and surge products

There continue to be a growing number of mobile-broadband subscribers and the data usage per user continues to increase. Mobile traffic data (globally) grew by nearly 70% in 2014; reaching 2.5 Exabyte per month by the middle of the year.

The increase in data traffic is being pushed by the requirement for more HD and UHD video content and this creates the need for faster networks.

This increase in mobile data is expected to increase even more when 5G is commercially deployed. One of the major mobile suppliers forecasted 90% of the global population over 6 years old will have a mobile phone by 2020 with >40% of the mobile broadband being on LTE networks. This demand for higher data rates drives the requirements for faster networks – both for the direct communications and also for back haul.

The advent of fibre networks has really assisted this growth and with the bandwidths now available with optical networks, the operators are pushing up past the 100Gbit to beyond.

Fibre Optic solutions are supported by Microwave Marketing with components designed into Industrial or leading edge Optical Receivers, Amplifiers, Modulators or Transmitters at 10G and 40G transmission rates. These solutions are found in data-centres, radar, cctv, marine, medical radio, high capacity data networks. We support Fibre test and inspection equipment for field engineers to ensure optimum completion of installation and cleaners for installation and test house applications. Fibre is now the medium for radio back-haul link from the Transceiver to consumer as data rates extend and RF conversion block functionality improves. Product groups for this product range cover Passives, Actives, interconnect and Transceivers. The expansion in use of fibre has seen spread of this technology across most of the markets we now work in.

The growth of ‘connected devices’ such as laptops, smartphones and tablets is increasing. At the same time, there is a rapid growth in the market for wearable devices, smart home appliances to connected cars. The number of wireless access points (small cell, DAS and Wi-Fi) needs to increase to cope with the growth. This is especially important in high rise apartments, office buildings, sport stadiums, hospitals, convention centres and shopping malls. In addition, adaptive access points are also needed for outdoor activities where large numbers of people gather such as sports events, university campuses and railway stations.

Network Timing

All networks require precision timing and Vectron’s precision quartz-based (phase-locked loops) products deliver low jitter timing distribution in support of the ITU G.8262 standard for Synchronous Ethernet. Many Frequency Translation products combine inherent high Q quartz-based oscillators with advanced performance PLL designs that enable communications customers to bridge high quality clock synchronization to the Ethernet.

Protection of networks against surges from external induced transient sources is essential. Down time is both costly to the operator and inconvenient. Network protection from surge environment in commercial and Defence applications is supported by clamping against fast transients using Silicon Avalanche Diode technology and power stabilisation by UPS. Microwave Marketing have solutions for both surge and UPS applications.

Data Centres

The UK is one of the world hubs for Datacentre design and implementation supporting the advances in data traffic and management. Communications in data centers today are most often based on networks running the IP protocol suite. Data centers contain a set of routers and switches that transport traffic between the servers and to the outside world. Redundancy of the Internet connection is often provided by using two or more upstream service providers. Some of the servers at the data centre are used for running the basic Internet and intranet services needed by internal users in the organization, e.g., e-mail servers, proxy servers, and DNS servers. Network security elements are also usually deployed: firewalls, VPN gateways, intrusion detection systems, etc. Also common are monitoring systems for the network and some of the applications. Additional off site monitoring systems are also typical, in case of a failure of communications inside the data centre.

MM support our customers in this market with backhaul radio installation support, surge protection ,UPS and temperature monitoring wirelessly via our Sengenuity products.
