John - It appears that Ubiquiti does still have a 900 MHz bridge available, looks like a very small dish instead of a flat panel. I suggest giving them a call or an email. They were very helpful in email and on the phone when my first 2.4 GHz system was intermittent (worked fine in winter, not in summer...trees grow leaves! duh.) and didn't seem to mind that I didn't speak IT jargon.
I'm in a similar situation as you, my guest cabin is 800 feet away with some mid size aspen trees in the way, so 2.4GHz didn't work. Ordered Starlink just over a year ago, their latest guess is next month(!!!) to receive mine. I think the only issue with 900 MHz and Starlink is that your blazing speeds (when it finally arrives) might be limited a bit. 5 GHz and up might keep up with your newfound speed better. Yes, you can do a 2-part bridge, but make sure you look closely at what they mean by "obstructions" and where in your line of sight they are located. Will let you know how it goes with mine when Dishy arrives.
