Fiber- vs. Microwave-based 5G Transport: a Total Cost of Ownership Analysis
Paper in proceeding, 2022
Answering a key question from operators, the paper compares the techno-economic performance of fiber and microwave-based 5G transport deployments using vendor’s inventories and real-life field deployment scenarios. Results highlight how microwave gains vary based on the geo-types, the fiber trenching, and microwave equipment costs.
