I have the hardest time convincing customers it’s not some exotic microwave or antenna problem, it’s your dog chewed the cable where it goes into your house. Or the roofers you hired left the antenna dangling from the cable off the edge of the roof.
There are morons everywhere, microwave is not immune.

I still prefer the wireless. It either works or it doesn’t. It’s either broken on that side or this side. There’s no in between. We have a saying in the office “it takes an act of God to fade a microwave, but any moron with a backhoe can fade a fiber line” Unfortunately I agree with them in this case.

They should do public private partnerships and take fiber feeds to their radio sites. They are arguing that microwave will always win out over fiber. I can argue this both ways depending on who is buttering my bread.

It seems like any given natural (or man-made) disaster might have a greater impact on fiber or microwave (ignoring that many networks are a hybrid of both technologies), it’s hard to say one will always be more immune or quicker to restore. So a little of each might be best. Like FTTH plus cellular as backup.

As a result all US bases that I know of were rebuilt using heavy rigid conduit. Cost the fortunes. I doubt there is any direct correlation and I don't know if extremely rigid conduit would survive a quake better than anything else. I saw a documentary on it years back.

No idea how much it costs to get time on the equipment though outside of a research project (industry user).
