With modern wireless technology, fiber isn’t even necessary. 5G is cheap and easy.
Fiber needs to be run to the towers. It’s easier to install more towers but it’s still an expense.
No, towers can be connected wirelessly with each other.
Wireless trunking can do 10GBs . Fiber does 800GBs. Chaining more towers means more are funneled through that last 10GBs link.
We are comparing against Starlink, dude.
StarLink does fiber back haul from base stations. So it’s either your Telco spending the money or StarLink. Your Telco doesn’t want to spend the money because it comes from customers and would require rate hikes that are regulated.
Whereas StarLink is spending its investor’s money.
At some point, a wireless mesh of towers will also be connected to the internet by fiber.
I don’t know if your are autistic, AI or just an asshole.
But the context is rural broadband internet, someone said you have to build out a fiber network, I said you can just roll-out 5G and use MiFi, which is in fact the most common solution for rural broadband internet worldwide.
I never meant to imply that you can run broadband without a single fiber cable.
I used to run an ISP. Unlike you, I know what I’m talking about.
