Your proposed positions seem good (at least in theory, coz their practicality requires an actual ground survey).
Are you proposing two 802.16 stations (not sure if 802.11 can do here) in the licensed band (one around the school and the other somewhere up as you near Kabira) to provide the long haul (to maybe Ntinda, Muyenga, ISP, Regional ISP, etc)? If so, don't those gadgets require similar directional receptors at particular buildings in Kamwokya (probably relying on community volunteers for space and power and maintenance..)? If again that be the configuration, does that mean, the volunteer on whose building the receptor is, again volunteers to re-distribute access via 802.11 points? Thanks. > Sweet!
