Locally, it seems that the wireless towers are being inter-connected by microwave links in a somewhat redundant network which I assume would have more than one fibre trunk. But there's probably scope for congestion on the uWave connections. This part of the world also has a high rainfall (or did have before greenhouse warming) and fogs, and I wonder whether the weather might also be a factor. But low-level wireless technology is not my area. David L. _______________________________________________ Link mailing list Link@mailman.anu.edu.au http://mailman.anu.edu.au/mailman/listinfo/link
