GlobeLink staff are particularly experienced in terrestrial microwave projects. GlobeLink principals were involved in the design and commissioning of an OC-12  SONET backbone system on the island of Oahu as well as many other projects in Alaska and Hawaii. The GlobeLink team has extensive experience with many of the major radio manufacturers' microwave product lines having completed over 60 multi-hop projects. Working for a major international cellular company, GlobeLink installed all of the radio electronics, MUX, DACS, power supplies, and 196 antenna systems on 88 hops of SONET microwave.

GlobeLink Telecom staff are also experienced in installing wireless point to multi-point local loop (WLL), WANs, BETRs(Basic Exchange Telephone Relay),  CARs (Cable Antenna Relay), and satellite earth station systems. The principals have worked on a large satellite project consisting of 29 3.6 meter earth stations installed and oriented in remote western Alaska.  GlobeLink principals have experience in commissioning  broadband as well as microwave systems from  virtually every large manufacturer. To facilitate these efforts, GlobeLink has access to complete inventories of heavy rigging equipment in Alaska and Hawaii.
