Microwave telecommunications in Hungary: development results and modernization plans

The microwave telecommunication systems developed in Hungary in the last decades and applied in public networks are surveyed, and an overview of the long- and short-term network modernization plans is presented. The present state of the microwave telecommunication network is characterized by a well developed analog and an underdeveloped digital network.
