Tehran Province Microwave Link Project | Consultation to Implementation
Tehran Province Microwave Link is a complete project from consulting, design to implementation, one of our other executed projects as one of the communication and telecommunications service provider companies in Iran (see the Kerman Province communication project)!
This executive project for the Tehran Provincial Regional Electricity Department was implemented with the aim of establishing a high-speed and stable connection between the control center and the power transmission substations. Considering the geographical challenges and the need for minimal latency, Huawei’s microwave link solution was confirmed as the best choice.
Step-by-step implementation of the Tehran microwave link project
۱. Customer needs:
✅ Real-time communication between 5 main power substations
✅ Resistance to electromagnetic fluctuations
✅ Minimum bandwidth of 500 Mbps
۲. Project challenges:
❗ Presence of urban obstacles (tall buildings)
❗ Frequency restrictions in the area

Why did we use the Huawei microwave link
High Durability:
Performance at temperatures from -40°C to +65°C (suitable for Iran’s climate conditions and in this project in Tehran)
Communication Security:
Use of a security module made for Iran
Military-grade encryption (TACACS+) for sensitive electrical data
No Sanctions on Product and Service Provision in Iran:
One of the major challenges in supplying and equipping communication and telecommunication projects in Iran is the ability to procure products that are legally and officially licensed for import into the country and are free from legal obstacles and challenges posed by international sanctions. Iran Microwave, with official import licenses and a specialized team for design, consultation, equipment, and support of communication and radio products for various Huawei microwave links, has been implementing a large portion of national and communication projects across the country for many years.
Project Equipment Speed and Full Support:
Setup within 72 hours for each link
۲۴/۷ technical services by Iran Microwave
Free training for electricity department operators
project results
۷۵% reduction in delay in transmitting critical power data
۴۵% cost savings compared to fiber optics
Stability: ۵۰% higher tolerance to fluctuations compared to competitors in high-stress power networks
And at the end: Iran Microwave, after visiting the site and thoroughly examining the problem, will perform all the necessary operations for you so that you can fully carry out your activities at the lowest cost.
