What is a wireless microwave radio link and when do you need one?

A wireless microwave (or millimetre-wave) radio link uses two directional antennas to beam high-speed data between two buildings with clear line-of-sight. Up to 10 Gbps, multi-kilometre range, no trenching, no fibre lease. Best for: multi-site businesses needing fast deployment, sites where fibre install is blocked or uneconomic, or temporary high-bandwidth event links.

How it works

4 steps from call to certified install

No call centre. No mystery quotes. No surprise sub-contractors.

1

Line-of-sight survey

Satellite imagery + 3D terrain check first. Then on-site signal test if path looks clear.

2

Spec + scope

Frequency band (5 GHz / 24 GHz / 60 GHz / 80 GHz), antenna size, mounting design, throughput target.

3

Mount + align

Mast or rooftop mount both ends. Manual alignment with signal-strength meter. Tightened to spec.

4

Commission + handover

Throughput test, latency test, written commissioning report. Optional ongoing monitoring.

Common scenarios

Who books this service

🏢

Multi-site business

Two offices, no fibre available, need them on one network. Done in days.

🏫

School / campus link

Main building to outbuilding 800 m away. Fibre trench would cost $50k — radio link $9k.

🏭

Industrial estate

Warehouse to office over 2 km of carpark and roads. Radio link is the obvious answer.

🔗

Backup / failover link

Primary fibre + secondary microwave radio. Auto-failover if Chorus fibre goes down.

🎉

Temporary event link

Major event needs 1 Gbps for 5 days. Mount, link up, dismount — cheaper than fibre install.

📶

ISP last-mile delivery

Last-mile customer too far from fibre. Microwave delivers fibre-equivalent speeds.

Common questions

FAQ

Do I need line-of-sight?
Yes — microwave radio is strictly line-of-sight. We do a free satellite + 3D terrain survey first. If the path is blocked by a building or hill, the link won't work without a relay.
How weather-resistant is it?
Rain causes signal attenuation at 80 GHz, less at lower frequencies. We design with link budget margin to maintain throughput in Auckland's typical heavy-rain events. SLA guarantees 99.9% uptime.
Do I need a radio licence?
Most frequencies we use (5 GHz, 24 GHz, 60 GHz) are licence-exempt for point-to-point use in NZ. 80 GHz requires RSM registration which we handle as part of the install.
What's the latency vs fibre?
Slightly faster than fibre over the same distance — microwave travels in straight lines, fibre routes through ducts. Typical <1 ms one-way for short links.
How long does an install take?
Site survey day 1. Spec + quote day 2–3. Mast install + alignment day 4–5. Most links are live within 1 week of order.
Can you do failover with our existing fibre?
Yes — common setup. Primary fibre, secondary microwave, BGP or static-route failover with sub-second cutover. We supply the failover router or work with your existing one.
