What was the deal with Bullit anyway? Some sort of control issues?

Not in total agreement with that assessment Ken.
20 years of having a fixed wireless division without really working
aggressively for customer acquisition, over 1000 customers, while
doing a bunch of other things. Network running like a well-oiled
machine, less than 10 tech phone calls per 24 hours, sometimes just 2
or 3. We are well aware of future proofing and are doing that
wherever possible. I think we have a few years at least even at 2.4,
running 45 degree sectors, and smaller fill towers. We overlay what
we can in 5 Ghz to give peak speeds. Licensed BH links wherever
possible. If I had a local company that could provide 50Mbit plans
for less than Mr. musk, I would take it all day long. Not everyone
would of course. ATT has had fixed wireless in 80% of our coverage
area, and we have lost 4 customers in 2 years to it.
But, I have other businesses, and a recording musician if that
industry ever comes back.
They key is to be a honey badger at whatever you are doing!
I’m good 😊

You are a brave man trying to make a business out of NLOS fixed
wireless. On the one hand, it’s magic not science. On the other
hand, Elon Musk and T-Mobile are wanting to eat your lunch, not to
mention government funded fiber.
I think it’s like getting people to pay to see you juggle running
chainsaws, while they could instead watch Netflix or play Call Of
Duty. Very difficult, yet customers would rather be doing something else.

LOL, definitely not in LOS territory. 90% of our rural stuff won’t
see the towers.
We use tower coverage as well, but it doesn’t show the angle (degrees)
to the tower.

When an account (in Powercode) is made through Towercoverage API,
it'll add the estimated signals to the tower starting with the closest
ones. That ticket could always be pulled up.
As far as alignment, I would think you're in LOS territory with 5 GHz
so once you know where the tower is, you can aim for it by eyeball
instead of app.

Anyone have a favorite app?? (android or iPhone) for putting in
the LAT/LONG of all the towers, so that the newbies have a general
direction to a tower from their location.
Looking to import (or type them) in all the towers..
Thanks!
