As wireless operators upgrade their microwave backhaul networks to keep up with increasing demands for capacity, Comsearch, a CommScope company, has launched a new suite of support services aimed at reducing operators’ capital and operating expenditures and speeding network deployment.

Comsearch’s iQ.link® Services suite includes four offerings that provide network engineering analysis as well as software database and system maintenance to enable network planners to roll out high capacity backhaul networks quickly and efficiently. These services allow network planners to focus on their core expertise by off-loading other time-consuming tasks.

“The operator’s need for increased transport capacity has driven the demand for microwave backhaul to new levels,” said Chris Hardy, Vice President and General Manager, Comsearch. “The need for additional resources to meet this demand has also increased, and Comsearch has found that outsourcing many labor-intensive activities is proving very popular in the industry.”

Comsearch is uniquely qualified to support network planners around the globe. The company has been a leader in microwave network planning and design for over 30 years and created the iQ.link microwave planning software tool, which has been responsible for the design of over 250,000 links worldwide.
