title: Microwave/satellite relays.
abstract: The intent of this article is to show examples of how microwave/satellite relays can be used in the design of public-safety communication systems. It's important to keep in mind that microwave/satellite relays are used to move information from one location to another. Information can be two-way-radio voice traffic, paging and data access. There are many other applications that can utilize microwave satellite relays, but they are beyond the scope of this article. Ultimately, microwave/satellite relays should be considered a resource that can greatly enhance both public-safety and EMS responsiveness.
