Rock Solid Internet & Telephone TVWS Applications From Frontier To Colonists
Current System Located In A 4 County Area Outside Of San Antonio TX 300 Mbps Total Bandwidth Via Fiber Backhauls Are Comprised Of 5 GHz Point to Point Motorola/Orthogon, Ubiquiti, & Trango
Towers 42 Towers with 98 Access Points 2.4 GHz Motorola & Ubiquiti 5.8 GHz Ubiquiti 3.65 GHz Ubiquiti (Licensed) 900 MHz Ubiquiti
Issues With Current Network Not Enough Available Spectrum Need More Throughput LOS Issues Cause Higher Truck Roll Costs
Current Spectrum Towers Are Close Enough That They Sometimes Cause Interference With Each Other Terrain Causes Need For Higher Density Contention With Competitors For Available Spectrum Lack Of Cooperation Causes “Fighting” For Available Channels
Throughput Issues Current Access Points Can Handle Large Numbers Of Clients, But Not Necessarily Large Simultaneous Delivery Of Bandwidth Per Client Applications Like Netflix And Hulu Create More Demand For Higher Bandwidth Per Client Using 5 GHz For Access Points Causes Less Available Spectrum For Backhaul Delivery
Line Of Sight Issues Terrain Causes Need For More Tower Density Obtaining Line Of Sight Creates Additional Costs For Mounting Hardware Aiming Generates An Additional Minutes Of Labor Cost
How Can White Space Help? Reduce Tower Density Lower Upfront Capital Expenditures Reduce Labor Costs For Truck Rolls Reduce (Hopefully) Hardware Costs For Client Installations Reduce The Contention For Current Unlicensed Frequency
The “Perfect” TVWS Scenario Enough Contiguous Spectrum To Deliver Mbps Of Bandwidth To Client TVWS Access Points Support 10+ Miles Total CPE/Installation Cost < $300 Ability Of TVWS Access Points To Support 500+ Clients Per Tower
We’re Ready! Deploying Our First TVWS Access Point Late February, Early March Mico, TX – Extremely Hilly Terrain Carlson Wireless Product Experimental License Procured From The FCC
