What they needed was a reliable, less expensive rocket, perhaps one that was reusable. The idea of a reusable "space shuttle" that could launch like a rocket but land like an airplane was appealing and would be a great technical achievement. NASA began design, cost and engineering studies ...

But there are many outdoor locations where fiber is not available or is too expensive to connect, and for these situations wireless back- haul is the most viable alternative. Unlicensed spectrum at 5 GHz is available and does not require a line-of-sight path. However, the bandwidth is ...
