There's a Meta Connectivity thing called Terragraph that would do it, though i don't know its status.

I think the website cites urban but it's not really specific to that.

It’s last mile though which mostly doesn’t help except in medium density neighborhood where running wire/fiber to houses isn’t hard, just expensive. 5G is probably more viable in general for these sorts of cases.

i bet that's the disruption (5G) that might obviate Terragraph. I guess we'll see.

> Terragraph is a wireless technology designed to meet the growing demand for reliable, high-speed internet access in urban and suburban environments.

I don't think this is a solution for remote areas.

supposedly it was developed for remote areas. Hard to tell if there's something special about where it was deployed....maybe the notion of remote has to be still close to wired basestation hubs.
