ITU-T Recommendations

Supplement 23 to ITU-T L-series of Recommendations provides technical information about the use of microwave radio systems which are available for use in telecommunication networks for rural communications in developing countries. Example applications include: high-capacity backbone networks, synchronous digital hierarchy (SDH) network systems, and use in enterprise networks and mobile backhauls. The attractive features of microwave systems for rural communications in developing countries are: independence from geographical features, such as mountains and archipelagos; rapid system integration at a low cost; robustness against disasters; and security against human interference.
