Use cases
BACKHAUL is a lookup entity used to classify the type of network backhaul connectivity available at a site or tower location. Values include dark fibre, lit fibre, microwave link, satellite, copper/DSL, and fixed wireless. The backhaul type determines available bandwidth, latency characteristics, weather sensitivity, and cost, which directly impacts what services can be offered from the location. Particularly important for tower sites where microwave and satellite may be the only options in remote areas. Simple name and description fields with flat definition structure and grid view.
