Due to funding and historical reasons, it has proven impossible or at least impractical for WLRH to gain access to a high-throughput Internet connection, despite UAH being incredibly nearby, and also being ready and willing to offer the connection itself. The only missing piece is the infrastructural build-out between the two. Since Makers Local has some expertise in point-to-point wireless (and is developing more as we speak), I figured we could help a fellow not-for-profit organization out, and come up with a solution to that problem.

Make the offer
It should be clear that the support for the link will come from a Makers Local point of contact, and the rest will be best-effort. It may be worth covering what the needs are, and if non-critical services can use this link while critical services use the existing one. Maybe some sort of failover scheme.
