We looked at this, and it still may be something we need to consider. I am afraid that LOS sensitive frequencies still wouldn’t reach some of them that are less than 1 mile away due to trees. A good alternative might be to have them put up 60-70 ft antenna structures. That would help with the trees on their property and close by.

From: David Coudron Sent: Wednesday, September 9, 2020 7:52 AM To: AnimalFarm Microwave Users Group Subject: [AFMUG] TV White Space We have a couple of areas in our network that remain problem coverage areas. The typical scenario is a handful of customers that are 5-10 miles from a decent tower structure, but really want service. We have usually either passed on providing coverage, or messed around with relaying from other customers or some other messy scenario. We are looking for a workable non-los solution for these few spots. We don’t need to get dozens of folks on a tower, and a higher than normal cost is OK, but it needs to be stable enough it is better than the relays and other messy solutions we have come up with. We keep looking at 900 MHz, but it looks like Cambium is the only one left in this game, and we are pretty worried about noise as we are in the middle of farm country and the RTK stuff is pretty prevalent. Has anyone had enough experience with TV white space to develop an opinion on its ability to be used in this situation? There only seems to be two vendors in this space, Redline and Carlson, but maybe there are others we are missing. We are looking for a solution that would cover customers 5-7 miles in non-los situations with rate plans of 20-25 Mbps. Is this possible?
