Microwave, WiMAX or Fiber IP?

The potential savings are substantial if a TV Station can eliminate (or greatly reduce) the use of ENG Vans with link-to-studio microwave, perhaps replacing the majority of ENG Vans with mini-vans or even station wagons.

Fig. 15. In less than 5 years, HD ENG backhaul may be accomplished through a combination of WiMAX and Fiber IP within a metropolitan area. Frequent ENG program origination points may have pre-wired Fiber IP network connections while other points are in proximity to WiMAX service. The traditional large ENG Van, with costly microwave electronics, dish antennas and telescopic masts, may only be used for rural reporting where WiMAX and Fiber IP are not available.

Change is inevitable – Keep your options open.
