Abstract

This report is about marketing and technological features of SONET/SDH microwave radio and security of its transmission. The report is written in the time when everybody is looking to save money on telecom (vs. 1999-2000 when spending reached unprecedented growth and was not justified in many cases). The analysis of these radio technological and marketing trends is timely and its intention is to attract attention to microwave transmission, which can help saving money and, at the same time, support reliable and secure communications.

This report consists of the two major parts and it addresses the following major items:

-Technology

• Standardization process
• Trends
• Requirements
• Specifics
• Roadblocks
• Architecture

-Market

• Trends
• Specifics
• Modeling
• Forecast
• Vendors and their portfolio

Target Audience

This report is written for the technical and sales staff of the communications departments in various branches of the industry, such as financial institutions, government, educational institutions and other. Surprisingly, these people, who work everyday with data communications issues, often forget about even existence of microwave radio, or they have very vague idea how useful this technology can be to satisfy their customers' needs.

The marketing issues discussed can attract attention of the radio vendors.
