Best Answer

Microwaves are radio waves.

Technically, "microwave" is the term used to designate radio communication on

frequencies above 3 GHz. Cellular and mobile data service doesn't operate in

that frequency range. But microwave systems operating in bands between

5.8 GHz and 80 GHz are used to link the individual cellular and mobile data sites

to each other, and to the mobile switching centers.
