Bartlett Earth Station, Alaska--Microwave point-to-point network

Bartlett Earth Station 30-meter dish and Microwave Link, Talkeetna, Alaska

The Howland Company has designed numerous microwave point-to-point systems for both private and public applications. After the deregulation of the telephone industry, we worked with all of the major long distance network operators to design and implement microwave point-to-point transmission systems. Much of the nation's long distance telephone traffic travelled over microwave networks engineered by The Howland Company.

The advent of satellite communications and fiber optic networks has dramatically reduced the need for long-haul point-to-point microwave networks. However, there are still many instances where a microwave link is the appropriate choice for a reliable, cost-effective communication system.
