There are plenty of Microwave products that produce that type of bandwidth=
and more, LOS and NLOS. I do not know if there is a WISPA counterpart in =
Scotland but you may want to reach out to WISPA to see if they know of an o=
rganization. You can also reach out to Cambium to see whom their partners =
are in the area. =20

20-60mbps is a tall order.
I=B9d say cellular.. Maybe you can pair together a couple of 4g cradle poin=
ts and do load balancing on them?
You are screwed for LOS microwave, 60mbps on a microwave hope requires real=
life engineering to function correctly. Frequency coordination, towers, AG=
L requirements. If you=B9re looking for satellite, I can tell you for certa=
in that a 60mbps circuit for a month would exceed 140k a month in your neck=
of the woods. That=B9s just to start off, it can get higher as the link bu=
dget dictates.
Is there any reason you need THAT much? Have you thought about using compre=
ssion stuff at all? Are these people paying for it?
