Hi Steve,
>Do you know whether the systems being built are robust enough so that during signal attenuation (rain fade or otherwise) the receiver rate simply adapts down?

Most vendors have 'patent applied for' technology to adjust to conditions

>Or is it possible the signal will be lost? Of course, the concern is the stability of a lifeline link over BBFW.

They usually downshift while trying to maintain services, ultimately
just maintain the link.

> Do you see the possibility of somehow guaranteeing lowband POTS-like voice function during severe weather occurences?

QoS/CoS aware nodes would (e.g. Stanford Broadband Wireless, Triton Network Systems).
