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.
Might have been microwave link. We had those as part of our disaster recovery at a few places I worked.
That sounds like a major drawback. I guess it's still better than nothing tho. Did rain cause issues as well?
I don't think so. Cannot remember that it did. Fog did though.
