It’s two way, just like usual wifi would be.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">150Mbps is a bit of a yes and no, some of our backbone links that tie different cell sites together certainly do run well north of 100mbps or more. However, due to the wireless spectrum available, and power/signal strength considerations, connections to users usually max out around 10-20mbps assuming very good signals. Poorer signals will necessarily be slower than that.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Nigel<br class=""><div><br class=""><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class="">On Oct 23, 2018, at 11:39, Ron van Herk <<a href="mailto:ron@cymtv.com" class="">ron@cymtv.com</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div class=""><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" class=""><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; line-break: after-white-space;" class="">Hi Tom,<div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Thank you for your reply, I just visited the irc channel again but was disconnected, so let me just fire away my first questions here;</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">I am trying to grasp the concept, basically you are transmitting digital data over VHF waves, reaching distances of up to 100 miles?<br class=""><br class="">Would this be like an internet connection, but only with one-way trafic?<br class=""><br class="">And I read somewhere about a speed of 150 Mbit/s, is this accurate?</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Best regards,</div><div class="">Ron</div><div class=""><br class=""><div class="">
