Re: Microwave hub site
Small update: We have secured funding for a new network build, which means we'll have two more big dishes hanging off this tower. They will be relatively low down and as such no additional strengthening is required (or so our tower engineers assure us).
The two new dishes will be hooked up to an Alcatel 9600LSY radio and will run in space diversity. These things (the LSYs) are massive, and are a 100% indoor solution, so we'll only have two big fat waveguides (probably Andrew Heliax elliptical) running up to the new dishes.
See here for a picture of some LSYs: »b.snnap.net/photos/network/alcat···lsys.jpg
They are relatively shallow, such that you could put two back to back and they wouldnt take up even as much room as a rack. The ones in this picture arent ours, but we'll be getting 6 of our own.
This is a couple of months off yet, but rest assured I'll provide pr0n where I can.  |
