Nice image.  What I would add, for reliability, is
the two remote bridge antennas going to the cloud,
should also connect to each other, so there are always
two routes to the cloud, in case one goes down.  Otherwise,
the Terms Of Service needs some "outage" clauses?  I'd
prefer each MESH to have triple net connections, and
preferably to different cloud connections, on separate
power grids.  I do believe that is a concept already
inside of the MESH concept.

This means five 9's for public safety to "depend" on your build out.
Meaning significant start up capital.  I'd like to see that happen.
I'm thinking the city might be considering that.  I'd like the city
to consider more than just this one method, and allow smaller
operators to hook up.  A city MESH might be done in a month that way
with full coverage over all of LA.  It would not be a five 9's
network, but it could grow into one.  But, there are no cash
boondoggles for firms on tax payers coat tails that way.
