Yeah, he was talking on old info, probably because when I was hanging out with him he'd just gotten back from five years in <LOCATION_REDACTED>. Microwave, shortwave, and that weird dual-mode laser AOptix thing have been the rule for a bit, although I don't know if the laser thing ever really worked. Maybe enhancing the other things. Probably by now they have their own satellites.

Microwave has been the standard for about 13 years now. Laser hasn’t panned out as I understand. Satellite wouldn’t help much because the bounce up is longer than just shooting in a near straight line with repeaters for long haul.
