On a regular basis I keep reading about how Fixed Wireless Access ( FWA ) continues to gain ground at the expense of cable operators, especially in the USA (see articles by Ookla , OpenSignal ). The other approach, championed by pureLiFi is to use Light Based Communications to let the signal pass from outside to inside.

Heading North, on August 29, 2024, the tiny cruise ship town of Sitka, Alaska suffered an undersea cable cut which required about two weeks to repair. Physical obstacles, network interference, and radio frequency interference are additional frustrations.  Ubiquitous software and hardware malfunctions are another challenge.

Coverage and Capacity Analysis: Conduct radio frequency (RF) planning and coverage analysis to determine areas with poor or no signal. Conduct interference analysis with other nearby frequencies or signals to prevent service disruption. Ensure proper cable management and secure all cabling to prevent wear and damage.
