Wireless operators deploying next generation technologies will be evaluating upgrades to their backhaul networks for better enabling bandwidth-intensive communications, a process simplified by the next generation microwave planning software solution, iQ.link®XG Version 9.0, from Comsearch, a CommScope Inc. company.

iQ.linkXG helps network engineers easily deploy microwave links by analyzing, designing, optimizing and maintaining a comprehensive database of their network. Backed by over 30 years of Comsearch’s leadership in spectrum management and the expert technical team that supports the software, iQ.linkXG helps wireless operators minimize expenses by getting the most productivity from their engineering resources and avoiding costly mistakes during the planning process. iQ.linkXG promotes efficient use of available spectrum by limiting interference in congested areas, effectively future-proofing against wasted spectrum in the backhaul networks that support high data rates.

“As LTE and WiMAX technologies are being evaluated, operators are looking at their backhaul networks’ capabilities to see if they can support higher data rates,” said Chris Hardy, vice president and general manager, Comsearch. “Those who need new microwave backhaul networks—whether it’s 50 links or over 40,000—will find the upgraded iQ.linkXG a robust tool for effectively planning, optimizing and managing their spectrum.”
