In the field
Microwave backhaul installs
Dish stacks and combined LMR / microwave sites from our crews.
What this work includes
CMI provides path-ready microwave and transport installation for a single link or a full backhaul network. Crews handle field installation through commissioning so the path can carry traffic.
- Antenna and microwave dish installation and alignment
- Waveguide and transmission line
- Radio rack, indoor unit, and inside-plant integration
- Commissioning, testing, and turn-up
- Follow-on troubleshooting and repair when a link goes down
Nomad installation crews
Microwave work is not limited to the Phoenix yard. Dedicated nomad crews go to the site. Primary markets are Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, and California, with dispatch beyond those states when the project requires it.
Related construction
When the path needs steel or a new site, the same company performs new tower construction, existing site modifications, and structural upgrades. Temporary coverage is handled as COW and COLT deployments, not only as a microwave add-on.
