Here in Memphis, we've deployed 3 traditional sectorized hamwan sites, and we have 3 more points of presence with omnis and backhaul equipment. I think with that we've still spent less than half your budget. Our community involvement waxes and wanes, but we're where we are today comfortably after two years of effort. Even if we were to throw more money at the problem, I don't know that we would've accomplished our network rollout much faster (unless we had enough to hire help). It takes significant effort, especially for those who aren't familiar with the technology (WISP). It will be very important to have a core local group with this experience participating in order for your project to succeed. </div><div><br clear="none"></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1472492512156_19632">I don't know what your concerns are regarding Mi6Wan, but I believe Fred and his group would be an excellent fit to help with this. We're always excited to see new HamWANs growing and happy to help them flourish. In terms of formal support, we're all volunteers, and there is no SLA. <span id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1472492512156_19631" style="line-height:1.5;">We're most active in IRC. It'd be appropriate for you to direct less structured questions on there (filling in gaps of our wiki, asking for explanations on certain design decisions, etc). </span><span style="line-height:1.5;">We're happy to help you troubleshoot issues, but do expect to be participating along the entire way. To perform and be secure, you'll need volunteers to administer your network (and you don't want them to be entirely remote).</span></div></div><div class="yiv4841112757HOEnZb"><div class="yiv4841112757h5"><br clear="none"><div class="yiv4841112757gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr">On Mon, 29 Aug 2016 at 10:28 Fredric Moses <<a rel="nofollow" shape="rect" ymailto="mailto:fred@moses.bz" target="_blank" href="mailto:fred@moses.bz">fred@moses.bz</a>> wrote:<br clear="none"></div><blockquote class="yiv4841112757gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;"><div><div>Or he could just work with the group who already did the design work and grant work.
