Loudoun has just upgraded two more of the existing 2.4 GHz backhaul links to licensed 4.9 GHz in Newton County GA. The use of the licensed backhaul links improves the site link reliability over the previous unlicensed links. The 2.4 links will remain in place as a backup.  With the addition of these two links, 5 RF sites are now connected via 4.9 GHz licensed links.
