OBJECTIVES
To provide the best solution to be used
in attaining an effective microwave
communication link for the expansion of
GLOBE Company .
To evaluate the parameters that will
make the two network microwave
communication link system compatible
to attain reliability and efficiency .
To identify the set of equipment to be
used to achieve a highly reliable
microwave communication link in terms
of setting and features.
