The existing antennas though are single pol, if they are wanting to go
broadband with new radios, I would think dual pol.
I would not recommend any frequency converted (900 and 3650 MHz) Ubiquiti
radios, they seem to have a variety of problems, also unlikely to have any
development thrown at them going forward.
In any case, their existing 900 MHz SCADA stuff will likely interfere heavily
with any new 900 MHz radios they try to put at the same site, so a graceful
upgrade may be impossible anyway.

I would recommend 11GHz for ptp...I would test the Cambium and Ubiquiti 900
since antennas are in place...but I am thinking of LTE MuMimo solutions as
well.. with all the tanks they have I would reduce long links to closest
one...right now most shoot to one tank....the original 1993 design is obsolete

Maybe 4.9 GHz LOS links between towers, and Cambium PMP450i and PTP450i in
900 MHz for the NLOS links?
As long as they stick with cameras that have reasonable BW requirements.

4.9 is not a good option due to existing public safety links on both sides of
border. The new PLCs from Allen Bradley are IP based as well other gear they
are now using. Also heard they are considering cameras at Wells not just
boosters and wastewater.

If they have to have the data throughput then I'd tell them to go with 4.9
and leave the unlicensed guys alone. But, do they really need it? Is this like
using a backhoe to dig a fence post hole?

While working at Storm Water site today, one of the water Co. SCADA
guys came by... he discussed that they are looking at WiMax and also 4.9GHz to
replace existing licensed 900mhz network for our 600 locations. They are using
MDS SD9 radios for MAS and LEDR for ptp.... they want to move up to faster
Ethernet based radios.... I listened and offered no comments....I was not about
to tell them about WiMAX or that our sister city has over 200 4.9GHz links in
operation since 2010...I have ideas of what I would do...Some background....
.many remote links are NLOS...easy to do with their existing 5 Watt licensed
radios and APs on 150 Ft elevated tanks or mountain. ptp links are easy for
most of east and lower valley because of tanks available and mountain
locations....let's see what you gurus suggest....we are on border and it is
very noisy in all bands. I mean all bands
