We should not forget the fact that most of the traffic between the users on a wireless network still goes over some type of wireline transmission network (fiber, copper) and only the last few to a few hundred feet to the end-subscriber are really and truly wireless.

In this paper we will focus on challenges wireless companies and their transmission engineers are facing in order to meet the capacity, reliability, performance, speed of deployment, and cost challenges in microwave point-to-point networks.
