Microwaves Advantages and Disadvantages..
Microwaves operate at high operating frequencies of 3 to 10 GHz. This allows them to carry large quantities of data due to the large bandwidth.
Advantages:
They require no right of way acquisition between towers.
They can carry high quantities of information due to their high operating frequencies.
Low cost land purchase: each tower occupies small area.
High frequency/short wavelength signals require small antenna.
Disadvantages:
Attenuation by solid objects: birds, rain, snow and fog.
Reflected from flat surfaces like water and metal.
Diffracted (split) around solid objects
Refracted by atmosphere, thus causing beam to be projected away from receiver.
