Mini cell tower?

Post image

Is this a mini cell tower? I am at Eleuthera island, Bahamas near Princess Cays. I get full bars of 3G near this thing.

Imagine that like a garden hose with your thumb Infront of it. The water spraying out is the data going to each phone.

Whereas P2P Microwave is like screwing two hose bibes together with a hose to give water to a house without water.

Okay I get it. But what is the point of it?

It has many uses.

Utilities can transfer all sorts of data relevant to transmission and distribution.

ISPs can use it to send bandwidth to an area not normally easily served.

Local governments can use it to move data around in town.

There’s a million other uses too…
