I wonder how much speed you could get from a 900 radio that uses the whole 20 
MHz.  If that was the output of the micropop and you kept distances short and 
antenna gains up it would hammer through almost anything.  Say 512 QAM.  You 
could deliver 100 Mbps.  Of course you would be claiming a monopoly on the 
whole band.  Perhaps OFDM might be a better way to go.  Use the orthogon method 
to occupy as much as you can find.

Yeah, "under the canopy" doesn't really happen around here, but getting into 
the middle of the trees does work in some cases... if we can get a 
point-to-point link working to one house in the middle of a subdivision, you 
can often get LOS to several other houses and  nLOS will sometimes even work 
with 5ghz at that kind of range.

  And in bands outside of 5GHz as well.  I don't think there is such a thing as 
"under the canopy" around here.  When you're in the trees, you're in the trees. 

  900 in a lite configuration would be ideal for us.

    Why not just make a PMP450i lite connectorized AP?
