[Equipment] Equipments planning and budgeting

Hi, we have our ISP license ready, offices taken, towers rent agreements done on friends terraces, local licenses and permissions up and running now.
Link purchase is done as well, to start with we have taken a 45mbps plan and the provider is going to lay a fiber to my office.

Now, the main phase is equipments planning, purchasing, network designing.

Is there an app or format which can be used to do a network planning for a WISP startup ?

Our towers are planned and to start with, we have one main office+ main tower, and other 3 base stations.

See the image.

Cambium has a great tool called Link Planner.
It takes into account AP's, CPE's and Backhauls.

Have you done your spectrum analysis yet to see if there is any clean spectrum available?

Pretty much...once you know what the local environment is, you can make decisions on how to proceed.
