Backbone

The current plan is to add two backbone radios to this site. One radio will connect to the backbone from San Bruno Mtn; the other will send the backbone onwards to Mount Allison. The work to install the radios will take place in June or July 2023.

The original radio proposed for the link to Mount Allison was a 5GHz airFiber, but we are likely to use a 10GHz Mimosa B11 instead as this spectrum is empty at Allison.
