Hey, I asked first for RF goggles and an R2D2 tower monkey, no cutting
in line. Oh, and where’s my flying car?

I'd hope we go onsite. Id pay slot more for cnheat if it did the
installs too. Like shoots a rocket from cambium hq, lands on the spot,
nanotech installs

Of course that 5x5 patch has to be verified onsite, especially for
trees near the site. Stupid trees grow, or blow in the wind.
I had a customer once with a windbreak of whatever those really
tall skinny trees are, not the evergreens, some kind or poplar or
something that grows 5-10 feet per in height per year. The trees
had grown to be taller than the house, and they took 2 of them out
with a chainsaw. Everything was fine when the wind was from the
north, but with a strong wind from the south, the link would
completely drop. She wouldn’t believe me the trees were bending
in the wind, until I had a tech climb up on the second story roof
and plug a little amplified speaker into the tone alignment port
of the Cambium SM. You could watch the trees sway back and forth
and listen to the tone rise and fall, and drop out when the wind
blew hard enough.

that would be a discussion to have with them.
LOS is the gold standard, and finding a 5x5 patch with it in 30
seconds is amazing. We are 99.9% on pulling the trigger

900 is magic not science. I never felt there was a logical
explanation to where it worked and where it didn't. I also
believe cnHeat is basically looking for LOS, and if you asked
it to evaluate NLOS paths, now the LIDAR data would have to
distinguish maples from pines from buildings.

Thanks. I'm watching an old webinar where only 5GHz and 3.5
GHz was supported. 900 was on the road map.

You never know if you don't ask. I know one isp in the same
boat, 150 towers, lots of hills, I can see the price being too
high. But the other part where they help identify best
locations to cover from may be worth it. Less towers and more
coverage is always good. Planting people seeds would be good
too. But they're hard to keep watered.
