Are we looking to be a generic carrier grade ISP? If so, then this will work, but we won’t be able to use amateur frequencies to do it. Similar question for connecting firehalls down south – if we are sticking to strictly amateur uses, then the usage by laptops and other devices at a firehall would be limited to amateur related uses – i.e. – no non-hams using it.<u></u><u></u></p>
