CCC (Compañia de Circuitos Cerrados), the cable company providing service to the city of San Miguel de Tucuman (Argentina) and its surrounding area, has just installed a new extension of the existing microwave network that has been in service continuously since 1994.

The new 12 Km link was launched with a broadband transmitter ITX-011 multiplexed with the existing transmitters to provide built-in redundancy. With the implementation of this link it has been possible to expand the cable system at a lower cost than would be possible with fiber.

Eng. Juan Ise, Technical Manager of CCC, said that “given the reliability of Cable AML’s equipment, as demonstrated for over 15 years of continuous operation here in Tucuman, it has been a really easy decision to expand the system with microwaves.”
