It also requires clear weather, so won't be enough to "wire" a village with reasonable expectation of service quality. At which point there is little reason to go with anything, but a passive optical network in a village.
- vegardx 7y agoIt depends on what you mean by reasonable. In some places anything that faster than the non-existing 4G-connection they were promised 5 years ago will be reasonable. These high frequency links might not be suited for bad weather or flock of birds, but they do enable low latency, high throughput most of the time. You can always downgrade to a lower frequency, much like how 5G operates, completely transparent for the clients.
- zzzcpan 7y agoPeople are not isolated from the rest of the world into specific areas, they know what broadband internet is like and this sets expectation of quality. I know of some organizations that use links on that frequency and not working in rainy, snowy or foggy weather always comes up, but they can deal with that, while consumers can't.
