What is the main reason terrestrial links are still built alongside optical fibre?

  • A.They can be installed quickly where no fibre route exists
  • B.They offer higher capacity than any fibre system available
  • C.They are unaffected by weather and so are more reliable
  • D.Regulations require a radio link as a backup to every fibre route

Answer: A

A microwave hop needs only two sites and can be working in days where a fibre route would require wayleaves and civil works taking months or years, which is why they dominate mobile backhaul in many regions. Fibre carries far more capacity and is unaffected by rain, and no regulation mandates a radio backup, though diverse routing is common practice. Speed of deployment and independence from civil works, rather than performance, are what keep the technology in use.
