How does microwave compare to fiber optic technology?
Microwave technology has advanced so rapidly that the bandwidth support rivals fiber technology. Fiber is a “wire” that can be cut or a tree can fall on overhead fiber cable. It is a high cost infrastructure. Consumers are benefiting by the technology race, so the competition is healthy. Microwave is the easiest to redeploy. Fiber means stringing (or digging) and thus the maintainability can be questioned.
