I'll call your two antennas and raise you 2 more antennas.
That's the MotoMesh Duo. If the public safety crow wants to share,
they get their own 4.9GHz radio in the same box resulting in 4
antennas.

The city of Portland apparently went with MetroFi as in your 2nd
photograph:

It appears to be only in the downtown area. If you're a "stones
throw" away from Portland, you may not be able to get service.
