So is this like a true mesh network, or just a traditional wireless network. If it's a mesh network, do nodes have multiple point-to-point links. I assume they would over the larger than a few km distances you're talking about.

We are in the early planning phase, but our intent is a true mesh.

  Hybrid network is fine for now, and maybe even desirable to get it off the ground and make it usable for most people. Just try making it work as well as possible with what technologies we have now, and as they improve in the next decade or so, it should become easier to achieve a true mesh network. Take a look at Super Wifi for example, which should allow for greater distance between points: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Wi-Fi http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Wi-Fi Wi-fi 802.11ac should also help with that bandwidth problem, offering speeds up to 1 Gbps: http://news.cnet.com/8301-30685_3-20030964-264.html http://news.cnet.com/8301-30685_3-20030964-264.html
