OPTIMIZATION OF THE TELECOMMUNICATIONS NETWORK BETWEEN TWO AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL CENTERS USING MICROWAVE LINKS

Abstract:Microwave line of sight transmission is one of several transmission media
in modern commutation. An important part of microwave network is to account for
these conditions and provide technical corrections. Currently, the Telecommunication
Network (TN) between the two area air traffic control centers in BHANSA is based
on leased lines from the “Consortium”, which consists of three telecom operators in
Bosnia and Herzegovina. In this way, the quality of services provided through such
a network depends on the availability of such a network. The disadvantages of this
solution are the high cost of leasing telecommunication lines, the lack of end-to-end
supervision of the entire network by BHANSA staff, the dependence of service maintenance
and any request for future capacity increase requires the procurement of new
services from the telecom operator, which implies new costs. The aim of the work is to
offer a transport network solution that will be based on microwave links (MW) with
high output power (HP) and a long range, which reduces the number of jumps in the
network and in a protective configuration, with sufficient capacity to meet the current
and future needs of BHANSA.
