It is entirely possible and authorized – even encouraged. I just held a discussion on the topic at Comm Academy this year, and part of the focus was on building communications “communities”. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>Most of the initial focus is usually getting a location connected to the HamWAN “backbone” – or one of the high level mountain-top sites. This is almost never possible when looking at an entire community, so it makes sense to build local cells to connect facilities within the community. In an ideal world your local community would create 2 or 3 cells, allowing each key facility with town to be connected to 2 sites for redundancy. In turn, the community “hub” if you will, would also have 2 or more connections out to the Puget Sound HamWAN backbone for connections to the rest of the world.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>In the event that the trunks out to the Puget Sound HamWAN backbone are taken down, you still have communications within your community between fire, police, city hall, school district, public works, shelter sites, or whomever else you want to add.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>Because each site and case is different, a fixed Bill of Materials is hard to nail down.
