Wideband Communications between the RDA and RPG -
Telco (Commercial) T1

Examples of various telecommunications companies with logos as 'telco'

 

This type of wideband link is used when the distance between the Radar Data Acquisition Unit (RDA) and Radar Product Generator (RPG) is too far for a Private T1 and when commercial service from a telecommunications company (Telco) is available. The link is made by using transmission medium leased from the local telecommunications company and can be used for an unlimited distance. Approximately half of the NWS WSR-88D site connections use this class of wideband link.
