I'm currently using a 900mhz Trango SU for this one micro-site. The tower is 35ft tall, and I'm using 2.4 ghz for the AP. There is about 25 homes in this area. I put up the site hoping to get at least 5 of them. With the work of mouth traveling in that area, I ended up with 90% of the homes there. The ones that didn't want the service were old couples that didn't use the Internet. I will be replacing the 35ft tower with a 60ft self support tower, and upgrading to a pair of Deliberant 900mhz radios.
If you are going to be in the WISP business, you have to be part speculator. ----- Original Message ---- From: RickG <[email protected]> To: WISPA General List <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, June 3, 2009 10:48:42 PM Subject: Re: [WISPA] [WISP] 900 PtP LOL, I've thought about going into the tree trimming/cutting business to complement the WISP!
