They plan to put up transceivers EVERYWHERE. Power poles, light poles, sides of commercial buildings -- you name it. I've read that the spacing will be anywhere from 500 to 1000 ft. Testing has mostly been done at 500 ft., if that's a clue.Typical applications have been military radars and commercial point-to-point communication links. For mobile applications, I wonder how this will work because the range will be quite short compared to the lower frequencies in use now.
They also won't be tearing down the old towers anytime soon. Because of the buildout and density required, the old 4G towers will likely be the permanent fallback, especially for rural areas.
