This is the node that needs to be designed and @Pedro-on-a-bike will send out invites for participation right?

Hardware Requirements: -(4) LAP-Lite-AP120 -(2) NanoBeam 5AC -(2) ERX-SFP -(1) Additional Cisco Mount -Outdoor Ethernet Cable and hardware connectors

Hardware Placement: -No Hardware to be placed on 238 Albion Rd, North most building as it shorter than the other two buildings and faces directly into a golf course. -236 Albion Rd will house the main ERX-SFP as it has direct access to the Gateway connection(Bell Fibe Internet). One LAP-Lite-AP120 will be placed on the north side of the building facing north (LAP0), assuming that Cisco is placing a mount here to provide Canopy Access to 238 Albion. Another LAP-Lite-AP120 will be placed on the south side of the building facing west (LAP1), assuming cisco is placing a mount here to provide Canopy Access to 234 Albion. A NanoBeam 5AC (NB0) should also be placed here to provide a PtP link to 234 Albion, assuming Cisco is also doing the same. -234 Albion will also have a secondary ERX-SFP to power two more LAP-Lite-AP120 and a NanoBeam 5AC. A NanoBeam 5AC (NB1) will be placed on the north side of the building to complete the PtP link, assuming Cisco places their mount here. An additional mount of our own will need be placed on the east side of the building as it is most likely that Cisco will not have their own mount here. At this location, we will place two more LAP-Lite-AP120 facing east (LAP2) and south (LAP3) to complete 360 degree coverage of the surrounding area.

Another alternative is that we may be able to place the East Facing LAP2 from 234 Albion onto the south mount at 236 Albion that houses our west facing LAP1 and NB0. The benefit of this is to reduce load demands on the PtP bridge and to minimize outages since the gateway is located at 236 Albion. The potential issue with this is real estate as this mount will already house many other antennas, including Cisco's Canopy equipment.
