Ceragon Networks, Microwave Radio Experience Since 1947 Ceragon Networks was a key player when Norway s oil adventure started in the early 1970. The first system delivered was VSAT systems, followed a few years later by the first LOS microwave systems. From the first system the market has changed to a market with focus on bandwidth and availability. With today s change to IO (Integrated Operations) throughout the business, Ceragon has adapted to this with new, advanced radios, ATEX certificated radios and stabilized antennas. IO has now pushed the bandwidth requirement beyond what is possible and economical justifiable with VSAT systems. We experience more and more a minimum requirement of 32Mb/s to most drilling rigs and +100Mb/s on larger platforms. Drilling rigs with Integrated Operations and these requirements for bandwidth, has often no other alternative than point-to-point microwave radio solutions. But point-to-point microwave radios uses highly directional antennas which will point off target on a rig with motions in Pitch & Roll, moving from well to well and change of heading depending on weather conditions. The PointLink has for more than 10 years shown that it can deliver a stable and reliable communication link under these conditions. It is not influenced by propagation activities i.e. selective and/or flat fading, severe weather or rig movements. The Evolution radio has become one of the most advanced software based radios on the market today, and there is also a special offshore version with higher corrosion protection and offshore coating. Another option is an EEx nr zone 2 certified Evolution radio which can be installed in locations not normally associated with operational microwave radios. All of these options of the Evolution are without any heavy extra weather protection- or ATEX enclosures. The radio weighs only 8kg. Ceragon has over the years acquired vast amount of knowledge on how to transmit microwave signals across a water surface. Extensive testing both in the field and in our laboratory has given us the best tools to predict the performance of a microwave hop over sea. Based on this information Ceragon has developed a quadruple space diversity system which acts as a double space diversity system both hardware wise and propagation wise. This system is proven to be the best system for protection against propagation disturbance like flat and selective fading, two of the most problematic issues when transmitting microwave signals over a sea surface. Additionally, space diversity arrangement also gives protections for temporary obstructions such as container housings in front of the antennas or helicopters blocking the radio signal. Ceragon Networks has for decades proven to be the most reliable supplier for offshore communication solutions. The next pages show an abstract of our client list over the recent years.
