GREAT QUESTION. Does anyone out there have an answer for this?
Because cell towers transmit waves omni-directional (not focused), and are also relatively low powered transmissions. When a dish is used focus the transmission waves into a tight beam, and the power of a transmission station increased, the waves can travel many times farther. Also, once the Tx waves leave the earths atmosphere, they travel without interference.
{edit}. Think of it like the range of a flashlight set to wide beam, aimed in the dark, through a light fog, compared to a stadium spotlight on tight beam focus.
so cell towers have shorter range than landlines, got it!
That’s not what was said whatsoever...
Omnidirectional has shorter range than directional. The earth is round. Put it all together.
