Licensed 6 GHz Links are under threat from all sides
The introduction of Wi-Fi 6E and the push to utilize the 6 GHz spectrum for mobile 5G are presenting increasing interference risk to existing operators using fixed links in the 6 GHz FCC bands. In this article we look at one recent instance of interference from an unauthorized use of a point-to-multipoint (PTMP) radio system that was operating in the licensed L6 GHz spectrum that severely impacted the operation of a newly deployed 6 GHz point-to-point (PTP) microwave link, how this was discovered and what steps were taken to resolve it.

Getting Proactive with Aviat Health Assurance
Telecoms network operators are striving to achieve the goal of 99.999% availability on an individual link basis, which translates to a mere 5 minutes of allowed downtime per year. To achieve this many operators add physical equipment protection in the form of N+N configurations and/or space diversity path protection. Techniques like adaptive modulation and automatic transmit power control have proven very successful in achieving more resilient networks by mitigating the adverse effects of radio propagation.
