carrier.
That microwave backhaul did not always provide sufficiently precise phase
and frequency reference
needed at the cell site.
For most telecom purposes, the frequency transfer of microwave links
suffice. Newer links have some basic support for things like PTP.
I run time-transfer over many microwave links, which is a bit of a
challenge for all the wrong reasons, but it works.
It is only when you push the requirement below +/- 1 us that you start
to have issues.
