It may actually be 'because' of reduced capital spending that these higher-speed radio systems may stand a chance. Compare the costs of a radio link to that of trenching and provisioning a fiber build for similar distances. The carrier who once offered radio only as a parallel back-up for proposed linear fiber builds may now find it to be a more enticing vehicle to bring them to breakeven (dare I suggest profitability?) as the primary, as well. Let's face it. Many SONET pipes today do not use the features for which SONET was designed. Instead, they terminate in 7500 type CPE routers where they are immediately converted to High Speed Serial Interface breakouts to support Ethernet and or Layer 3 routing, anyway. A less-inexpensive native GbEthernet radio link may make eminent sense as a substitute, especially in places where fiber is sparse or non-existent.
