Executive Summary
Identifies optimal Tarana G1 fixed wireless hub sites across all 11 CABO market states via a 360-degree sector sweep at 10-degree increments identifying 60-degree arcs with 100+ raw customers at each radius.
TX DFW-metro suburbs (Anna, Fairview, Melissa, Prosper, McKinney) are the dominant opportunity, delivering 30K–38K customers per sector at 15-mile radius with Marginal-to-Clear terrain.
OK Lawton is the strongest 5-mile radius opportunity in the CABO portfolio at 9,245 customers, with Marginal terrain and very low foliage risk — ideal for first deployment validation.
KS, NE, GA, and SC offer low-risk rollout opportunities after TX/OK procedures are validated. KS and NE are flat-open terrain; GA and SC have wetland-dominant Clear terrain.
AL, AR, and TN present the most challenging interference profile with Obstructed terrain and Very High foliage, requiring 5-mile-only initial deployment and mandatory 3DEP terrain profiling.

Deployment Recommendations
Risk Legend
Clear / Low Favorable conditions; predictable link budget
Marginal / Moderate Manageable; standard engineering practices apply
Obstructed / High Elevated concern; taller structures or profiling recommended
Very High Significant challenge; 5-mile-only + mandatory 3DEP profiling
Methodology
Terrain Elevation
Source: Physiographic region (USGS). Output: Clear / Marginal / Obstructed. Slope/elevation std vs Fresnel zone clearance at 5.8GHz. 40ft tower vs 60% F1 rule.
Vegetation Cover
Source: NLCD land cover by state. Output: Low / Moderate / High / Very High. Forest % × foliage loss coefficient (dB/km) at 5.8GHz, summer and winter separately.
360-degree sector sweep at 10-degree increments; 60-degree arc with ≥100 raw customers qualifies. Max 2 sectors per city per radius (optimizer output). Address list: Dec 31, 2025.
