    RD Microwaves Helps with First 6 GHz 5G system on the East Coast!

    RD Microwaves has been fulfilling the 5G build-out with our components used in one of the first 6 GHz systems on the East Coast! These outdoor installations located in Providence, Rhode Island and the surrounding region are integrated with our 3-, 4-, and 5-foot custom booted cables with stress reliefs and HM-A38 hybrids upgraded to withstand the elements.

    Service providers and installers have come to rely on RD Microwaves for its quick delivery of tailor-made products to suit each application. This benefits installers that are challenged with last-minute changes to field installations. RD Microwaves supports these installers with custom mountings, housings, sub-assemblies, and jumper cables doing what it takes to get the job done.

    RD Microwaves Supports V-COMM Custom DAS Testing in NYC Subway

    Systems planning and modelling only go so far, site surveys and data collection are critical in optimizing wireless telecommunications networks. A long-time customer of ours, V-COMM, has been developing custom testing platforms to meet these challenges. One interesting example is this telescoping assembly for pre-installation PIM testing in the difficult environment of the NYC subway system.

    This portable setup combines our high-quality coupler, low PIM termination, and a custom cable assembly sleeved with NYCOIL to withstand the rigors of field testing. This is one of many tools needed by designers/builders to ensure network connectivity and interoperability. RD Microwaves understands the difficulties faced by designers and installers particularly in the testing and certification stages and can provide custom solutions to meet your requirements..

    RD Microwaves Custom DAS attenuator shelf for Canada’s largest real estate project

    RD Microwaves is a critical partner in both the US and Canadian distributed antenna system markets as we know the close level of cooperation needed to make DAS installations a success. Just recently we were asked to design a custom DAS subassembly for one of Canada’s largest commercial real estate projects located in downtown Toronto.

    This custom shelf and sliding bracket assembly was designed to mount 16 of our low-PIM 6 Ghz unequal dividers (UD6) and 20 W terminations (TA-22) with custom quick connect/disconnect right angle adapters to ease installation in this tight space.

    The first units were built and shipped within one month from PO date, with RD Microwaves providing continual support to meet the challenging form/fit/function requirements in these types of installations.
