无线电链路为农村宽带提供了一种选择，其中人口稀少，并且由于崎岖/多山的地形，许多现有技术（例如光纤或通过DSL的宽带）不经济。在本文中，我们提出了一个宽带测试床运行在苏格兰高地和岛屿，并讨论其宽带接入的可行性。除了5GHz网络外，该试验台还提供共享相同基础设施的覆盖UHF白色空间网络。我们认为，该系统是基于一个网络的能源自给自足的无线电中继节点，使其成为一个强大的和独立的媒体，以支持在农村环境中的宽带通信。
Wireless radio links present one option for rural broadband where population is sparse and many of the existing technologies such as optical fiber or broadband via DSL are not economical due to rugged/mountainous terrain. In this paper, we present a broadband test bed running in the Scottish Highlands and Islands, and discuss its feasibility for broadband access. In addition to a 5GHz network, the test-bed also provides an overlay UHF white space network sharing the same infrastructure. We argue that the proposed system is based on a network of energy self-sufficient radio relay nodes that makes it a robust and independent medium to support broadband communication in rural settings.
