Abstract

A system and method are disclosed for deploying a plurality of point-to-point receiver transmitter pairs such that the main beam of transmitting radio does not point directly at any receiving radio antenna other than the desired receiving antenna. A three dimensional lattice matrix deploying nodes in different horizontal planes and aligning the nodes such that nodes of a particular row of nodes do not point directly at one another is used. Accordingly, particular horizontal and vertical angles, ideally greater than 1/2 the main beamwidth, are used to align nodes of the lattice. Additionally, inter-nodal distances and polarization isolation are taught to improve mutual interference.
