to a switch somewhere that routes the call to wherever. In our area MW (microwave) back haul is rare since MW is prone to fade according to weather conditions. Increasing cell phone proliferation is taking a toll on copper fed land lines to homes but the central offices which formerly switched those landlines are fast becoming home to fiber optic nodes carrying cell voice and data calls.
