Tower height is 195ft
Wind load factor is 100mph basic wind speed with ice load of 1/2"
Upload and Download Speeds
Maximum: T1 speed (1.5 Mbps)
Typical: Current typical BWA bandwidth delivery is 256
Kbps download and 128 Kbps upload. RTA's CPE radios have a maximum delivery
of 1.5 Mbps download and upload in ideal conditions. Typically 800-900
Kbps is realized. CPE radios can be managed to deliver defined download
and upload speeds in 2Kbps in increments from 32 Kbps up to 1.5 Mbps.
These settings can be changed to allow a specific end user more or less
bandwidth as needed.
The system in place to deliver BWA to end users utilizes 2.4GHz ISM band
radios with a maximum rate of 1.5 Mbps. The RTA network system will accommodate
point-to-point or point-to-multi-point broadband applications in licensed
or unlicensed bands to meet the needs of individual providers. Service
providers may propose to use their own wireless system or RTA can assist
in procuring a system to meet their need.
The RTA network currently provides 150 MB of aggregate bandwidth throughout
the system. The network design is scalable to allow growth in existing
markets and expansion into surrounding areas.
Average Tower Coverage Radius
Depending on the terrain and features, the effective
range of each RTA tower is 10 miles. Coverage can be increased by 900MHz
radios and 5.8GHz radios to deliver even more bandwidth when needed.
Redundancy-Reliability
The microwave paths were designed for 99,999% reliability.
The average outage per hop is 162.09 seconds per year. Redundancy has
been built into the system by way of loop configuration. In the event
a hop fails, traffic is rerouted around the loop.
