Abstract
The study addressed the theoretical analysis of radio relay station control systems using modern information technologies. The study aimed to identify the potential for improving the performance, reliability and cost-effectiveness of such systems. The analysis investigated advanced sensor technologies, automation algorithms and monitoring techniques that could significantly reduce maintenance costs and speed up fault response. Key aspects affecting the performance of radio relay stations were considered, including the impact of climatic conditions and various operational scenarios. The importance of automation integration to improve system reliability and reduce the impact of human error was emphasised. Compliance of the proposed solutions with international radio relay standards, which simplified integration with existing networks and the possibility of future modernisation, was also highlighted. The results of the study substantiated the necessity of automation of radio relay systems and created a theoretical basis for their further development and improvement, which opened new opportunities for improving operational characteristics and increasing resistance to potential failures. The implementation of new approaches to data management and analysis was addressed, ensuring quick response to changes during operation as well as resource optimisation. These aspects provided a competitive advantage in a rapidly changing telecommunications technology environment, emphasising the importance of flexibility and adaptability of systems for efficient operation. As such, the study of the theoretical foundations of automation can be used as a basis for practical recommendations for the implementation of innovative technologies in radio relay station management
