In the Power distribution company network installed 17 ESTeem Model 195Eg wireless Ethernet radio modems as backup to their existing fiber optic network.

This network linked 6 substations, 3 administrative buildings and utilized 2 high, hilltop repeaters.

Ranges of these links averaged 10 km (6.2 miles) and were established between the administration buildings and substations to their respective hilltop repeater.

The two hilltop repeaters were linked through a back-haul connection at an approximate distance of 48 kilometers (30 miles).

This network is an excellent example of how adoption of wireless technology, selection of the correct wireless hardware and correct RF design practices can provide a reliable, cost effective communication network in the harshest of conditions.
