As the name implies, these links form the backbone or superhighway along which large amounts of data can travel for long distances at relatively high speed. Typically backbone or "backhaul" links are permanent installations on mountain peaks, tall buildings, or high towers. They are usually point-to-point links with large high-gain antenna systems running on reliable power sources. In some cases these links are designed with redundant radios which help ensure path protection. Backbone links can operate over distances between 10 to 30+ miles.

**Intermediate Links**
|
||||
Intermediate links bridge the gaps between endpoint nodes. Their primary purpose is to pass network data, but there may be cases where they also serve as mesh access nodes for users. Sometimes these links are call "mid-mile", "distribution", or "relay" nodes. They are usually installed on medium-height towers or buildings in order to achieve high signal quality with good line of sight to other intermediate nodes. Depending on conditions, intermediate links may operate over distances between 3 to 10+ miles.

**Endpoint Links**
|
||||
Endpoint links are used to connect destination nodes to the mesh network. Sometimes these links are call "last mile", "tactical", or "terminal" nodes. Usually these nodes serve either as the originator or the final destination for network traffic. Depending on local conditions, endpoint links typically operate over distances of 3 miles or less.
