At the same time, digitalization in remote areas calls for large coverage solutions (e.g., TV or GSM white spaces (WSs)) to increase the number of users within a base station and helps reduce the network deployment and management costs, albeit at some performance trade-offs. The latest developments in wireless communications can be applied in outdoor power line communication (PLC) to provide high data rate connectivity over the high and medium voltages power lines, increasing the capability of the backhaul networks in remote areas. Service accessibility in rural areas involves prohibitive deployment expenditures for network operators and requires high-capacity backhaul connections for several different use cases.	./cache/cord-163462-s4kotii8.txt	./txt/cord-163462-s4kotii8.txt
