It appears you are about 30 miles LOS to where cheaply available
bandwidth is located. Depending on the height of your tower and the
height of the building on the other end, just about any 5.8Ghz backhaul
should get you there. I would assume you don't even a lot of bandwidth
since you have a T1 now, which means just about every backhaul on the
market should provide more than enough bandwidth.
Your best bet is to get a list of buildings in KC that are tall, have
cheap bandwidth, and you can get roof rights. Then you can narrow down
the list based on cost and LOS back to your network.
To help you get started, below is a list of buildings where I can
provide cheap bandwidth at:
1025 Grand Avenue
1102 Grand Avenue
1100 Main St

Folks,
I'm looking out about 6 months and expect to run out of bandwidth with my
current T1 line. That's the good news because it means that I have more
demand than supply. My niche is that I serve the rural community and
getting bandwidth out here is a challenge. I would like to begin planning
for an expanded service area but the first problem I need to solve is the
acquisition of more bandwidth.
I think the most likely solution would be for a wireless backhaul but I
have no idea where to begin. Since you all have helped so much in the past,
I figured this forum would at least set me on the correct path. Questions I
have include: Who are the cost-effective providers? What's the transport
medium of choice? What kinds of distances are available? What is the unit
of bandwidth - 45Mbps? And what costs are to be expected?
As usual, thanks in advance for any and all responses!
Regards, Jim in Kansas City..
