Brits/Elandsrand Highsite
To provide coverage in Brits and Elandsrand, connecting to the Kameeldrift highsite. Will start with a 5.8ghz omni and then later upgrade to sectors as more people connect. We will use 5.8ghz as there is too much interference from WISPS on 2.4 in Brits. We will use the R5H for the long link from Brits to Kameeldrift as it has better noise filters than a normal R52 radio.
