How does topography affect wireless coverage in rural areas?
Topography and foliage have a major impact on the attainable coverage and capacity of wireless networks in rural areas. Even small hills can create shadow regions with severe negative effects on coverage.
Why are wireless networks so expensive in rural areas?
Rural areas generally have lower population densities, which translates to fewer potential customers for wireless service providers. This lower demand makes it difficult to justify the high costs associated with deploying and maintaining wireless networks in these regions.
Will terrestrial networks remain a cornerstone of rural digitalization?
It is therefore reasonable to assume that terrestrial networks will remain important cornerstones of the rural digitalization journey in the years ahead.
