Huawei Wireless Full-outdoor Microwave: 5 OptiX RTN 300 Models Comparison

2023 SEASON SALE Networking and Security Showcase In-stock ICT products at exclusive discounts

Last post, we discussed this topic, Optical Transmission vs. Microwave Transmission, and we’ve known Huawei microwave products are popular in the market. In this post, I will share the comparison of Huawei OptiX RTN 300 series microwave products.

Huawei OptiX RTN 300 series are compact full-outdoor microwave transceivers which provide Gbit/s-level backhaul throughput for packet services. The zero-footprint deployment brings easy installation and efficient management. The RTN 300 series are used to provide transmission solutions with low network construction cost for enterprise networks and can be deployed in ISP, Education, Government, and other vertical industry ICT infrastructures for large capacity transmission without optical fiber.
