Mikrotik LHGG with a LM960 card or EM12, etc, put it on the tower at each site and use a $2/mo IOT sim, it will get cell signal if it's above the trees, even from 50km away On Sat, Sep 25, 2021 at 11:33 AM Jaime Solorza wrote: > Besides access to PLCs and HMI devices on our SCADA networks, i use

I would assume you have inet access, toss up a good outdoor access point and pretty much all cell phone providers support wifi calling. On Sat, Sep 25, 2021, 11:12 AM Jason Wilson wrote: > It would require a repeater at key sites but they can be linked over the > voip switch. > > On Sat, Sep 25,

Starlink Mobile? How about a Wilson cell phone booster at the top of the towers. Those are cheap and easy. It would give you good service in the immediate vicinity of the tower. From: Paul McCall Sent: Saturday, September 25, 2021 9:12 AM To: AnimalFarm Microwave Users Group Subject: [AFM
