Microquasars (MQs) present emission over the whole spectrum, from radio wavelengths to gamma-rays. The microquasar spectral energy distribution is very complex, being a signature of the different physical processes that generate the radiation emitted by these objects. In this work, we estimate the amount of broad-band emission produced by relativistic protons, released from the jet of a MQ, interacting with high density regions of the ISM. We show that a two components source, the microquasar itself and the region of interaction between the jets and the ISM, could be unveiled by the new instruments at high-energy and very high-energy gamma-rays.
