Hi Eric, thanks for this info. Very helpful. Mark/everyone, this is in Morocco specifically. I haven't been given the exact location but I'm told it's near Dahkla. On Sat, Aug 3, 2019, 9:36 PM Eric Kuhnke <eric.kuhnke@gmail.com> wrote:
In a remote area in northern africa if there are no terrestrial ISPs, and there is no budget to build towers for PTP microwave, I don't know if there are any reasonable options.
If sufficient funds did exist, my recommendation, if they really want true diversity between two totally different services, would be a combination of a MEO o3b earth station and a traditional geostationary type earth station (Ku band) with appropriate RF chain and SCPC modem.
It is also possible to achieve full diversity through two totally separate geostationary earth stations, using different satellite transponders and different teleports on the other end.
But that's not going to be cheap, either in a one time equipment cost or in monthly recurring cost, for o3b services and transponder kHz lease + teleport services on the other end somewhere in continental Europe.

If we had a location (or at least a part of the world) we might be able to recommend a little better.
This is in northern Africa.
