<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I WANT ONE, this could potentially allow completely unmanned re-trans sites, better quality power for manned sites and drastically increase performance!

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>It looks to be less effective and higher maintenance than currently available solutions. <br><br>I'd probably need 2 of these to power a BN TOC. That's another 5 ton with trailer burning diesel, and attracting attention. I wouldn't be able to get rid of my diesel and gas generators because wind power is inconsistent, and I'm not waiting for the balloon to inflate before we start operating. <br>
