Background Fixed radio communications links, also known as microwave links, enable point to point data transfer. They are commonly used to connect mobile base stations to the wider telecommunications network. [...]

Background The Civil Aviation Authority (SACAA) in South Africa requires that solar project applications have a Glint and Glare Impact Assessment Report. The requirement is that all new applications should [...]

Overview The use of cranes is essential for the development of medium to high rise building developments. In certain locations however, cranes can present a risk to aviation activity, particularly [...]

Wind turbines and airports co-exist throughout the world despite the fact that wind turbines can present an obstruction risk to low flying aircraft as well as potentially affect radar systems. [...]

Overview Wind farms are where Pager Power began and we have worked on a large number of them over the years all over the world. It is always interesting to [...]

Background Solar Convergence occurs when multiple reflective glass panels simultaneously reflect the sun to one point with an intensity greater than that of direct sunlight. In July 2017 the City [...]

Yes they do. Strong (Photovoltaic) PV glare may be caused by reflections from a low sun. Whilst panels are designed to efficiently absorb direct and diffuse light they are often [...]

Requirements for glare intensity modelling Glare intensity modelling is a common planning requirement for solar photovoltaic developments. Increasingly, it is becoming a requirement for other development types as well, for [...]

In this article we consider forms of radar interference; causes; mitigation options and management for various types of radar. Radar Interference Principles Radars transmit and receive radio signals – analysing [...]

Overview Pager Power recently conducted a consultation process with Network Rail to better understand their assessment requirements when it comes to glint, glare and their operations. The following article presents [...]
