If you need more than a megabit, don't forget to factor in the link budget =
and the resulting power and hardware requirements to support larger bandwid=
ths. Then you're looking at something that is probably not available today=
on the island. If the connection needs to be up 24/7, even in heavy rains=
, then you're looking at something in C-band which then requires a larger a=
ntenna. You'll be hard pressed to do any real bandwidth at Ku-band with an=
ything less than a 1.2m antenna. C-band, you're looking at 3.7m or so mini=
mum.
The Ku-band iDirect system I manage for the City of Chicago runs 3 Mbps up =
and 3 Mbps down at Ku-band. There are 6 remotes on the system, 5 are vehic=
les. The vehicle antennas are 1.2m but they require 25 Watt amplifiers to =
reliably close the link all the time. Clear day is fine on much less power=
. Heavy rains, forget it. 25 Watts isn't enough.
