How to Ensure Performance and
Reliability in RF Systems:
LMR® networks and the risks of counterfeit components
Wireless technology has become a crucial aspect of our daily lives, from airplanes to the simple dishwasher connectivity is needed.
In the United States, over 100 trillion megabytes of data was transferred over mobile networks in 2023, and this reliance on wireless communication calls for secure, fast data transmission methods. This is where radio frequency (RF) solutions come into play. RF devices use allocated frequency bands from 3 kilohertz (kHz) to 300 gigahertz (GHz) to efficiently transmit wireless signals by up to 30 miles without complex wire set ups. LMR® based systems, a subset of RF technology, operate in higher frequency bands of up to 8000 megahertz (MHz). They account for reduced attenuation by 40 to 50 percent compared to other RG cables and are growing in popularity as the market for LMR® based systems grew from $22.75 billion in 2023 to $26.06 billion in 2024.

This white paper explores the importance of performance and reliability in modern RF systems. Focusing on Times Microwave LMR® cables and connectors, we look at how their performance compares to traditional RG cables, and the risks associated with counterfeit LMR® products.
