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?
