Re: Deploying over 90 squared km: Wimax or not?

This area is in South America.
Sincerely, 2.4Ghz/5.8Ghz "WiFi-derived" WISP technology will be more appropriate in your situation.

You do not to spend more than ~$9000 for the wireless infrastructure to provide both voice and data service to ~90 sq km of hilly country side that you describe.

Some questions:

1. How to get internet bandwidth into that remote area at reasonable cost? VSAT? T1/E1? DSL from nearest town?

2. How much can you charge them $5 or $15 or $25 per month? How will you collect monthly payments?

3. Who will pay for the $99 CPE and optional $39 VoIP gear? You or customers?

That part is ready and in a center location. We built a tower to get the equipment in, it works at 1.5GHz and provides us with two E1's. We'll use the same tower to provide the links to the outer locations.

2. How much can you charge them $5 or $15 or $25 per month? How will you collect monthly payments?
This will be all private.

3. Who will pay for the $99 CPE and optional $39 VoIP gear? You or customers?
Again it's a private network, the need for voip is only to inter-communicate between these locations.

This is a very poor area with no telephone lines
I suggested affordable WiFi-derived solution based on that statement ...

But may be money is not much of an issue here?

Any co-ordinates you can share of the tower and a few of the NLOS sites? You may have some hills in between.

Radialink,
Will do that as soon as I can, I have the coordinates from GPS on my laptop at home.
It's a poor area but the company that is investing isn't
Of course the cheaper, the better.

Thanks,
