Transwave's network design incorporates a series of strategic hub sites all connected via high capacity looped microwave system. At these sites, we distribute out to our clientele with the latest cutting edge wireless products available.  We have made a conscious decision to be co-located on many of the areas tallest buildings and towers to enhance our coverage areas.  This, in addition to the fact that we use OFDM (non or near line of site) technology in many of our installations, allows us to distribute out to our customers with minimal mounting requirements and to be aesthetically conscious at our customer sites.

Everywhere along the way, whether through our broadband backbone or distribution, your data is carried safe and secure, with radios technology that is either licensed, supports proprietary modulation schemes,  and/or is encrypted.  Transwave's network is extremely efficient with absolute minimal delay.  Our Transport backbone also supporting OSPF and BGP4 routing protocol at the core.

Backbone core sites are all secure sites with 24 x 7 access with long term co-location agreements in place.  All sites are routed to our network core to our Tier 1 upstream entry points, located in the heart of Buffalo's Telecommunication corridor.  All of this is done without the need (and the cost) of the local carrier loop.  We have taken the necessary steps to assure reliable uptime.  At our core, we have dual providers in Verizon and Level 3 and are taking substantial bandwidth from both.

Our Network Operation Center NOC is located in a hardened co-location facility that has all the features that are needed including easy access to major telecommunication providers, secure entry, power back up, environmental controlled temperature and much more.

At all customer sites, we require layer 3 device at the edge.  This is a protective feature that segregates our customers networks from ours, therefore, insulating us from issues arising out of our clients networks such as multicast broadcasts, viruses, etc.

Our network was designed by Transwave's seasoned veterans of the microwave integration industry with mission critical, carrier class up time in mind, incorporating conservative design principles such as route and loop diversity to protect against equipment failure and battery backup in the event of power failure, BGP4 routing to multiple upstreams and more.

Every aspect of our network has been well thought out.  We use industry elite equipment from such manufacturers as Harris-Stratex, Microwave Networks, Alvarion, Exalt, Motorola, Redline, PepWave, Foundry, Cisco, Allot, and more.

A case in point to the reliability of Transwave's network was how the network performed during and after the notorious October Snow Storm of 2006 that devastated much of the WNY area.  Transwave's network remained 100% operational.  While many local carriers were affected by downed power lines and/or power failures, Transwave network remained operational.  Many Transwave customers lost power, however, those that had power backup remained on-line and our backbone was operational 100% of the time!  Transwave was extremely active in restoring Internet to new customers who had no prior experience with a wireless provider in the weeks following.  This went on for several weeks afterwards.  Transwave network has performed admirable in all storms afterwards as well!  This has included major wind events, snow and rain storms.  This alone makes Transwave an excellent choice for a primary medium and the best choice for redundancy!
