You can also use 2 Ubitqiti point to point Nano wireless units and a 4O3A
Rotor Genius at the tower.

I use a 4O3A Rotor Genius mounted in a box at the base of my tower to
control a M2 2800 and a Tic Ring rotor.  I ran ethernet since I had room in
my conduit.

You can display / control the Rotor Genius via the Windows app, PST Rotator
or Node-Red...
