700MHz is a mixed bag for rural coverage. Great for punching through trees, but need very tall towers to overcome destructive fresnel lens losses. Higher frequencies are usually better here + more gain!
- inkyoto 20d agoFor rural areas, lower frequencies are better because they mean longer distances ↝ fewer cell towers but also less density. Conversely, higher frequencies mean more density, shorter distances and more cell towers. The ROI in the rural scenario in this case is lower.
