[AusNOG] AirFibre

[Chris Gibbs]

Not to mention that the congestion in the 2.4 /5 ranges is almost at breaking point in some areas.

A presentation at the last AusNOG conference even covered details of moving into the unused TV spectrum to help address the issue and make use of spectrum in more efficient means.

That's heavy!

Regarding OP, you could talk to BigAir they do contracting not just with their own system, they might be able to help you bring together a solution.

Those of you concerned with OHS might be interested to know that when these are powered on with defaults and the dishes pointed into a concrete floor for config, they set off RadMan RF safety detectors nearby. That probably won't stop anybody from using them, but try not to have one on your desk!

Be aware that the licensing of this band in Australia means the distances
it can achieve are much shorter - see

theoretical and real-world examples.
