Over many decades, point-to-point microwave radio has proven to be a secure mechanism for transmitting sensitive voice, video, and data communications. It is a leading solution for backhaul of cellular traffic worldwide, and it is a trusted technology for the hundreds of thousands of networks supporting mission-critical communications for power utilities, military operations, public safety, first responders, and homeland security agencies. In this paper, recommendations are made for the security capabilities of wireless point-to- point microwave communications. In addition, the paper highlights flexible security design combined with the inherent security capabilities of the Nokia 9500 Microwave Packet Radio (MPR).
