Radio & Microwave Systems
Reliable and Secure Wireless Communication for Critical Infrastructure Networks
Dedicom provides a complete portfolio of wireless communication systems designed for mission-critical operations in energy, transport, and utility networks.
Our solutions cover every layer—from point-to-point microwave links and wide-area LTE/5G connectivity to robust licensed-band SCADA radios—ensuring secure, high-availability data, voice, and control communication.
With proven reliability, advanced encryption, and flexible network integration, we deliver communication infrastructure that performs dependably in harsh and remote environments while supporting the transition toward fully digital, IP-based operations.
The Wireless Advantage
Not every location can be reached by fibre. Remote substations, pipeline facilities, offshore platforms, and distributed infrastructure assets often lie beyond the reach of cost-effective terrestrial cabling. Even where fibre exists, wireless links provide essential path diversity and rapid deployment capability that wired infrastructure cannot match.
Modern wireless technology delivers performance that rivals fibre for many applications. Point-to-point microwave provides high-capacity backbone connectivity across challenging terrain. Licensed-band radios ensure interference-free operation for critical SCADA and protection traffic. And private LTE/5G networks enable secure mobile connectivity across entire operational areas.
The Dedicom Approach
Dedicom delivers wireless solutions engineered specifically for critical infrastructure environments. Unlike consumer or enterprise wireless equipment, our systems are designed for continuous unattended operation in extreme conditions, with the reliability and security that utility and industrial operators require. We help customers select and integrate the right wireless technologies for their specific requirements—whether replacing aging radio networks, extending connectivity to new sites, or building resilient backup paths.
Key Highlights
- Complete Technology Range - Point-to-point microwave for high-capacity backbone links, LTE/5G routers for wide-area mobile connectivity, and point-to-multipoint SCADA radios for distributed monitoring and control. A single partner for wireless connectivity from backbone to edge.
- High-Capacity Backhaul - Microwave links delivering up to 65 Mbit/s per channel with ultra-long-range connectivity beyond 150 km. Aggregate capacity scales through channel bonding and frequency diversity to meet growing bandwidth demands.
- Industrial-Grade Reliability - Substation-hardened equipment designed for continuous operation in extreme conditions from –40°C to +70°C. Ruggedized enclosures, wide-range power inputs, and fanless designs ensure reliable operation where standard equipment would fail.
