At my telco day job, we have several circuits to cell sites; most are 100-200
Mbps capacity on 1G phy, but they all aggregate to a pair of GigE waves to
their MSC. Rural north-central Wyoming.

They're moving to dark fiber or tubes of dark fiber. A Sprint tower can
move 1.3 gigs, with some doing more.

Subject: [AFMUG] Typical Cell Tower bandwidth requirement
I was talking to a Spectrum employee yesterday as he was installing a 1gig
fiber circuit for me and he started talking about how un-common it was to be
seeing a 1 gig DIA circuit installed so i said well what about the cell phone
towers, don't those all have a couple gigs to them and he said. "Oh no those
usually only have 100meg fiber feeds to them." I was like whoa, thats all? And
he said "yeah all the Sprint, T-mobile, and At&T towers that he's been to are
all like 100meg and he's like usually the Verizon ones are about 300meg
circuits."
Does that really sound possible that a cell tower is only using that much
bandwidth? We are pretty rural here county population is only 45,000 and the
city populations are only about 12,000. Can this really be true? And if so why
can't a WISP sell a backup circuit to a cell tower with some Air Fiber
equipment?
