Wireless is a great solution when there is spectrum available. If you have access to low band frequencies as the cellular companies do you can blast through trees, walls, etc.
Even with that they need fiber to their towers to provide the speeds necessary
- flas9sd 6y agohad upgrading the bandwidth of the already present RF link or doing a microwave ptp link on your own any part in your prior research?
- jaredmauch 6y agoYes, there's no suitable spectrum available to towers due to topography, etc.. I might have to build towers at both ends to run in a licensed range, eg: 11Ghz, and even there there's not good access. So I might still have to pay 20-60k to get access on top of the 5-10k for radios and registration of the licensed link. That easily builds 1-1.5 miles of fiber, and since I was just over 2 miles away from it, it became easier to just do that and have something reliable.
- flas9sd 6y agothank you for explaining the rationale behind your decision and taking the time for the AMA
