There is no more advantage to V vs. H with dual polarity equipment. More spectrum for customer access means more bits able to be moved. If I have a gig of wireless backhaul coming into a tower, that's a gig I could be using to make me money. I'd like to have 50 - 100 megabit plans for my broadb

You can still use spectrum for customers as long as your back-haul links use antennas with small beam widths, or run your back-haul links in horizontal and customer links in vertical polarity. The fact that our infrastructure is 100% wireless (outside our Internet upstream links) has been a hug

I am just making a prediction. I believe those with infrastructure in the air and the ground will be deploying these micro-cell platforms like crazy. Will you? Do you now? Scriv On Fri, Jan 27, 2012 at 9:23 AM, Roger Howard wrote: > Fiber to the AP? Why not just do an 802.11ac gigabit backhaul l

Fiber to the AP is a great idea and the only way we will be able to meet customer demand. Within 1 year I don't think I'll have any towers that are more than 1 hop from fiber, with many directly on fiber. - Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com On 1/26/2012 10
