Microwaves are radio waves that provide a high-speed signal transmission. Microwave transmission involves sending signals from one microwave station to another. Microwaves can transmit data at rates up to 4,500 times faster than a dial-up modem. A microwave station is an earth-based reflective dish that contains the antenna, transceivers, and other equipment necessary for microwave communications. Microwaves use line-of-sight transmission, which means that microwaves must transmit in a straight line with no obstructions between microwave antennas.
