Microwave relay - just look for part cooked pigeons that cross its path. If you get "page cannot be displayed" pop out - lunch is ready

It could be Radio, Laser, Microwave etc

We do at least those 3 plus many many more

Where do you work J4cko it might have even been us putting it in

My last company provided Radio 34mb internet to a lot of sites in Liverpool, Manchester and all of Anglesy have over 200 buildings all connected via Radio, to a 100mb internet feed from the Great Orme to Billinge

It could be either a macro cell or a nano cell, doubt if its a femto cell though, basically radio 3g/HSUPA/HSDPA or it could be a wi fi setup.

Its the future though they gave me a second hand bald tyre so im not impressed

Basically its based on 3.5/3.75g technology HSDPA/HSUPA (something you will begin to hear more about) and instead of being a cell that you see on top of a building that had 2-3km range, these will have a range of <500m which has the advantage of faster transmissions.

If your still baffled, look up nano cell or femto cell on google, give it a couple of years and you will have (a femto cell) in your house

Oh and also look up pico cell and micro cell, probably baffle you but some keywords in there which will make some sense
