One BTS, included embedded EPC with MAC level authentication (cheapest
option) supporting up to 50 clients. Antenna could be swapped for any other.
NOTE: this exclude any NMS pieces, but you could just connect over Telnet or
direct connect. This would be the BAREST of bones, but there it is. That's
still LTE and about 100 Mbps with killer NLOS.

Probably 20k to start. Quality over quantity.

Patrick,
I haven't had time to read through all this emails. Can you summarize what
the lowest cost get up and running on a tower is so I can consider this further
along with cost per sub?
Thanks,

Alvarion did that. I admit, I'm not a fan of capping Glen. It is a gimmick.
The hardware is what it is, and this hardware is expensive. 30dBm per port. 4
tx/4rx. Power is expensive. The highest quality DSPs on the market. not
consumer grade stuff with the sensitivity of your in home Wi-Fi router. We
build our own phy from the ground up too, our own ATPC algorithms too.
On the software, we do that though -- enabling modularity and scale as you
need to. I think I need to do a dedicated webinar to this community to walk you
guys (or those inclined) through it (any takers?). I do not think we can be a
solution that makes sense where you only have 15 clients. That's the blunt
truth. Unless you are doing 50 Mbps customers, I am not your micropop (but I
can do that in some modest scale). That said, I wonder where that 15 number
comes from? Can you please explain on what architecture that is based? Range?
Height? Etc. If it is based on a micropop and even then on what just that pop
can see, I'd say that's likely a model invented out of necessity due to the
poor performance of the system you are using.
I had a guy on a call today. He zoomed me in on Google Earth to his "NLOS"
area. Farmland with wind breaks and shade trees for the homes. He is at 400'
and can't connect squat behind those breaks. In my world, that's LOS all the
way, even at 150 ft. It is total garbage that so many systems to can't deal
with that and you've all been fed that that is "normal." It is not. It is just
gear with terrible specs where the only R&D is at the software level, and even
that is scant. ....You do not have NLOS problems. You have equipment problems.
How such a product ever was allowed to go to market as a "solution" for rural
broadband is, to me, cynical and reflective of playing a market to skim
opportunistic dollars from a market segment that sometimes seems to embrace
abuse. Sort of like the poor 700 MHz owners who got sucked in to buying 20 year
old Marconi WipLL repackaged as a 700 MHz "solution" because all there was to
buy. Then vendors do that crap and THEN, THEN tell you there's no backward
compatibility when they come out with something new?
WISPs. Sometimes you guys drive me nuts. You are like cheerleaders that love
to date the quarterbacks who abuse you. That is like selling a car that falls
apart once you leave residential streets. None of you should ever have accepted
these golf carts to run your fleets. Sometimes, cheap is just cheap.
Boy, I'm gonna hear it from my vendor peers, but this ain't a game or just a
job for me. I damn sure hope it ain't that for you either.

Sort of off topic, but what would be the smallest AP we could get?
I'm thinking about using this system on a few of my towers to make sure we
never leave without a new customer, but I serve a very rural area.
I have some towers with 15 clients.
Is an omni + GPS sync or narrow channel out of the question?

This is an interesting bit of commentary from one of our new customers. If
he wishes to identify himself, he will....

"Patrick / Nick –
Our Director of Operations, which you both met in St Louis, sent out an
interesting email to our staff this evening. In February with only 20 working
days we completed 40 installs with one technician... This is only icing on the
cake, especially since we are onboarding two more techs... I ran some
additional numbers and found that out of the “Telrad” installations that we
scheduled, 100 % were successful both of these months. This is a game changer,
and it proves that we can eliminate the need to waste further time with the
dreaded site surveys. Our success is not without the help of Telrad’s Compact
solution. Truly amazing and inspiring, excited for our aggressive expansion
this spring/summer/fall. I cannot wait to have hundreds of these damn things
in the air.
Excited and thankful to be a part of the LTE Beta, and am thankful for the
“Holy Grail” email that introduced us to the product...."
