Great insights from WAVExperts 2026 into where microwave technology is heading.

From higher-capacity E-band and emerging D-band technologies to AI-assisted network optimisation, Nokia’s Wavence roadmap shows that microwave continues to have an important role in delivering high-capacity, resilient connectivity.

Particularly relevant for the regional and remote networks we design and deploy at MarchNet.

For people working away from home, connectivity isn't a luxury.

After a long shift, being able to video call family, stream a favourite show, keep up with sport or simply browse the internet can make a real difference to life in a remote location. Reliable internet, Wi-Fi and entertainment aren't just technology. They're part of creating a better experience for the people who live and work there.

The MarchNet Field Services team are currently delivering just that, deploying ProConnect 4G/5G Fixed Wireless backhaul and Wi-Fi network across offices, facilities and staff accommodation at three remote sites to improve user experience for those working and living there.

That's what connecting regional and remote Australia is really about.

Delivering fibre-like microwave connectivity to one of North Queensland’s most remote mine sites.

We're proud to share a case study highlighting how MarchNet was engaged by a telecommunications carrier specialising in direct fibre services, to design a high‑capacity fibre-like telecommunications solution for one of its mining clients operating at a mine site located approximately 130km north of Mount Isa in remote North Queensland.

The site’s isolation and terrain presented unique challenges in delivering carrier‑grade connectivity capable of supporting modern mining operations. MarchNet designed and delivered a five‑hop microwave network of 135km end-to-end, including two repeater sites accessible only via helicopter.

The result? Fibre-like connectivity with 1/1Gbps bandwidth and 99.9% availability supporting the critical operations of the remote mine site now and into the future.

At QMIHSC 2026 MarchNet’s Milan Coric presented on the journey from two-way voice to situational awareness - the safety case for mission-critical, standards-based mobile broadband in remote mining operations.

The video of Milan's presentation is now available here: https://www.qmihsconference.org.au/video/coric-from-two-way-voice-to-situational-awareness-the-safety-case-for-mission-critical-standards-based-mobile-broadband-in-remote-mining-operations/

The presentation explores the case for standards-based mobile broadband to enrich traditional mission-critical voice and basic location information with live video and imagery, live location information, real-time messaging, forms and workflows to improve safety, incident management and response.

Delivering communications to one of the most remote locations in Australia - the MarchNet Field Services team are onsite at a remote island off the north-west coast of WA installing and commissioning a communications and entertainment solution for a worker accommodation village.

The planning and logistics to get to this point have been incredible, with months of collaborative effort between MarchNet, our client and the site controller.

One of the most critical phases in delivering a high-availability microwave network is the desktop design process.

Recently, our team has been working through the desktop design of a diverse microwave communications network for a major renewable energy project in Southeast Queensland, designed to provide resilient connectivity across geographically dispersed sites. The objective is simple - eliminate single points of failure and ensure operational continuity when it matters most.

A key aspect of the design has been the incorporation of diverse fibre backhaul, with Yurika forming part of the strategy to provide geographical and carrier diversity, which will deliver protection against infrastructure outages and ultimately improved network availability. MarchNet’s Geoff Marsh and Pieter Delport with Yurika’s Tony Riley working through the location options.

When it comes to designing 4G and 5G networks, predictive coverage mapping is a powerful planning tool, but validating those predictions with real-world measurements ensures networks deliver the performance operations depend on.

MarchNet recently completed a detailed coverage assessment of its ProConnect 4G and 5G dedicated mobile data network deployment at a major coal mine in central Queensland, combining carrier-grade RF modelling with real-world drive testing validation.

Using advanced propagation modelling, network coverage was predicted across the operational area and subsequently validated through extensive field surveys. The results showed strong correlation between predicted and measured coverage, confirming that the network is performing in line with design expectations and providing confidence for onsite operations and for future planning and expansion.
