Summary

“… You could make telephone calls from
the car… there were two long sticks, like
fishing rods, handled by Hilda. She
would hook them over a pair of
telephone wires, seeking a pair that were
free... When they were found, Lars
Magnus would crank the dynamo handle
of the telephone, which produced a
signal to an operator in the nearest
exchange.”

MBMS – broadcast over lte
Example: Dense German city, single site, 2.8 bit/s/Hz TX mode
>95% service probability within 10 km
>95% service probability from 93% of area in 10-20 km range
