Re: HDR Access Point product: "Look at the HDR access point product. This is cooler... Allows a micro cell access point in small areas for small costs. Should support multiple users. Couple that with a Saunders outdoor BTS unit and Cox Cable and you have a giant run for the money on Road runner service." What is a "small area?" Here's a specific problem: there's this 4 square mile island with maximum elevation in the middle of about 90 feet. About 350 homes dispersed about the woods and beaches, 85% seasonal use. The inhabitants are extremely conservation minded. No way to construct a tower here. Some might even be radiation-phobic. Verizon on the mainland side of the moraine is fair, other side dead. Big debate: lay fiber for internet? I've argued for HDR as soon as available. How do you do micro-cells? There seem to be many areas like this. I live in two of them. Gilder complains about the Berkshires (Western Massachusetts). I've seen reports of 30%/year addition of towers in US. Can microcells fill the gaps efficiently?
