Example and Tutorial for a Technical Solution for 4G Network (up to 350M) for our Community

See "Rural Connectivity, Cambrium Networks".

From the Verizon 4G page:

LTE in Rural America

At Verizon Wireless, we're committed to extending 4G LTE coverage beyond the footprint of our nationwide network. With the LTE in Rural America Program, we're collaborating with rural carriers that serve areas not currently covered by the Verizon Wireless network. By combining their tower and backhaul assets with our core LTE equipment and premium 700 MHz spectrum, these participating rural carriers can more quickly build and operate their own 4G networks.

Expanding 4G LTE access to rural areas not only provides the speed and reliability of 4G to rural carriers' customers when they travel, it also ensures a seamless experience for Verizon Wireless customers traveling in areas outside our network. Together with our partners, we're bringing the speed and performance of 4G LTE to rural America.

I should mention that 4G and followon technologies can be hybrid networks: Use fiber where financially cost competitive and use 4G transceivers to bridge the gap. Don't use copper for any significant distance.
