While working at Storm Water site today, one of the water Co. SCADA guys
came by... he discussed that they are looking at WiMax and also 4.9GHz to
replace existing licensed 900mhz network for our 600 locations. They are
using MDS SD9 radios for MAS and LEDR for ptp.... they want to move up to
faster Ethernet based radios.... I listened and offered no comments....I
was not about to tell them about WiMAX or that our sister city has over 200
4.9GHz links in operation since 2010...I have ideas of what I would
do...Some background.... .many remote links are NLOS...easy to do with
their existing 5 Watt licensed radios and APs on 150 Ft elevated tanks or
mountain. ptp links are easy for most of east and lower valley because of
tanks available and mountain locations....let's see what you gurus
suggest....we are on border and it is very noisy in all bands. I mean all
bands
