These towers serve as relay stations, where microwave repeater stations take microwave transmissions from one tower, amplify them, and send them to the next tower. The towers can be seen out in the country or on rooftops in cities. They have one dish pointing in one direction and one dish pointing another direction. Each dish points to another similar dish on another tower, with a clear line of sight between the towers. Each tower has a hut to house the electronics and batteries.

GNB Absolyte� IIP batteries are an excellent choice for this application. These batteries offer reduced service and maintenance, the ability to be stacked to reduce floor space, and minimal gas evolution. Ranging in capacity from 105 amp-hours to 4800 amp-hours, GNB Absolyte IIP batteries are available in several configurations including the standard modular configuration, the "relay rack" configuration, and as single-cell modules for maximum configuration flexibility.

For smaller installations, GNB Marathon VRLA batteries serve the application well. These 6-volt or 12-volt monoblock batteries are available in capacities from 28 amp-hours to 180 amp-hours. Installed on shelves in cabinets or relay racks, GNB Marathon batteries offer the best power density of any battery on the market today.
