Don’t Risk Obsolete Equipment

Did you know? Radio equipment is not set-it-and-forget-it. Manufacturers go out of business, and certain radios and equipment become obsolete - meaning your network can have components that aren’t working as they should.

Unfortunately, this can lead to downtime, service disruptions, security issues, and lost revenue.

If you’re wondering about your equipment and the impacts to your network, we’re currently offering complimentary point-to-point link analysis & budgetary pricing for microwave link upgrades.
