Cool thanks for all the tips and resources guys. They are amicable to working with us (they don't want any bad press either) so we should be able to work out a solution.
I've also forwarded some contacts for license coordinators. Thanks guys! Luckily 900mhz is less than 1% of our customer base. But for that 1% it's all they've got for getting Internet. -Sean On Wednesday, April 27, 2016, Travis Allen <tra...@totalhighspeed.net> wrote: > Sean, > > One of our local utilities uses licensed 220mhz for bh, but still uses > 900mhz for meter to meter and meter to Collection point communication.
