    The tech sounds useful to bridge cell towers in rural areas among each other to skip satellites and laying cables.

    Back when I was still in university, dormatories’ internet was established using a similar tech to the main campus. It was great, except on snowy days. Then there was just no internet at all.

      That sounds like a major drawback. I guess it’s still better than nothing tho. Did rain cause issues as well?

      Might have been microwave link. We had those as part of our disaster recovery at a few places I worked.
