XXX's AAA technology is similar to **terrestrial fiber** in terms of speed and reliability. AAA has a substantial advantage over **terrestrial fiber** because AAA can be deployed in a day and costs less to deploy than **terrestrial fiber**. **Terrestrial fiber** can take months to deploy and also require significant regulatory and environmental approvals prior to installation.

Glasfaserverbindungen {irdisch, terrestrisch}
Personally, I think the author was paid by the word. As fiber links must, at least at this time, be terrestrial, I think you probably could leave it off.
If they are talking about radio links, then they may wish to differentiate between those that make use of satellites and those that do not, but with fiber links, they are all pretty much terrestrial.
My opinion from the USA.

but I would still consider undersea fiber as terrestrial.

: "(bodennah verlegte) Glasfaserverbindungen". I'd really like to know what's special about AAA.

Kaberverbindungen
Es ist nicht klar um welches Datenvolumen es geht, aber an vielen Stellen werden Daten noch mit Kuperleitungen übermittelt, z.B. dort wo es um DSL geht, das mit Glasfaser nicht funktioniert.

Erdverlegte Glasfaserkabel
Man gebe <WiFiber> in den Google ein um zu erfahren, dass es sich um eine drahtlose Verbindung handelt, die natürlich schneller errichtet ist als eine Erdkabelverbindung. Glasfaser hier wohl deswegen, weil ja nur ein Vergleich mit einem Medium mit vergleichbarer Durchsatzrate Sinn macht.
