Re: [WISPA] 3.65 Precedence
I set forth the point at a get together with the FCC in Gettysburg a few years back that I thought it was a waste of time to register the CPE's. The base station already spews forth the frequency in a certain direction anyway. That's when I realized I thought something else was afoot other than frequency.

How does the incumbent protection work in that case? Something like 4 miles out from the registered base station instead of the furthest CPE (since the CPEs were never registered)? Yes. The registered base station gets a protection zone that goes out about 5.3 km where there is only unregistered CPE, but if there's a registered CPE the protection zone in that direction can go as far as the CPE: "Specifically, under this approach, the Grandfathered Wireless Protection Zone around each eligible registered base station is defined by: (1) for sectors encompassing unregistered CPE, a 5.3 km radius sector from each registered base station based on the azimuth and beam width registered for that base station; and (2) for sectors encompassing registered CPE, a sector centered on each base station with the registered azimuth and beam width covering all registered subscriber stations within that sector." Note however that the registered CPE is still limited to 18 km, or the farthest-out registered CPE in that sector, whichever is closer. The diagram illustrating their August press release shows -Sector with unregistered CPE equipment receives protection only to 5.3 km radius -Sector without any registered or unregistered CPE equipment does not receive grandfathered protection -Sectors for protection of registered CPE equipment – angle determined by azimuth and beam width of registered base station, radius determined by location of furthest registered CPE, (normally not more than 18 km) There are two of the latter, with different protection radii based on where their CPEs are. BTW this is all in a Public Notice that is not a Rule per se. https://apps.fcc.gov/edocs_public/attachmatch/DA-16-946A1_Rcd.pdf "D'oh, I should have registered that CPE!" :-) -- Fred R.

I'm guessing that the existing WISP wins, and that I wouldn't be allowed to come in and put my gear up, potentially interfering with his existing operation. Is that correct or is it not as simple as this? It's a little more complex. First off, you do need a license for now, and those aren't being given out, though there are uh strong rumors that they can be purchased from existing holders... they're non-exclusive, non-territorial licenses. Note that this is "for now". If someone has registered devices with the FCC before April, 2015, those devices are classified as Incumbent and are protected against interference except from other Incumbents. So a new device from a licensee who didn't register it on time can't interfere with it. But they can operate on a non-interfering basis -- the protected registration is to a specific device on a specific frequency at a specific location. If the Incumbent is using gear that is only approved for the less-restrictive 3650-3675 segment, then the 3675-3700 segment is vacant, provided the gear you use is approved for use up there. If two licensees operate in the same area and want to put up more radios and neither has priority over the other (by being registered on time), then the "sandbox clause" takes over: They are not protected against interference, but they are expected to cooperate with each other to try to minimize harm. This is different from 5 GHz or other unlicensed frequencies, where interference has to be essentially malicious (like the hotel Wi-Fi jammer) to get the FCC's attention. Existing 3650 (WBS) licenses can be renewed, but renewals all end in 2020; only 10-year licenses issued in a 2010-2013 window will last longer (until their 10 years is up). By then, CBRS rules will fully take over. Under CBRS rules, devices operate under one of three priorities: Incumbent, Priority Access License (PAL), or General Authorized Access (GAA). Incumbent includes those unexpired, registered WBS devices, as well as federal and satellite users. PAL will be the auctioned right to claim priority on a channel within a census tract, though the specific channel is not specified in the license. GAA is "licensed by rule", which is sort of unlicensed but has priority over actual unlicensed stuff, and a higher power limit. CBRS devices, called CBSDs, operate on a channel for which a Spectrum Authorization System (SAS) authorizes them. The 3550-3650 range has 10 10-MHz channels of which up to 7 can be claimed as PAL in a given location, while 3650-3700 is Incumbents (including WBS) /and/ GAA. GAA still has to protect /unregistered/ user devices connected to registered access points, but not nearly as far out as registered user devices get protection. The SAS is supposed to iron this out in real time when the CBSD requests a Grant to transmit. So once CBSDs are available and the band is really open, then you can just buy gear, sign it up with a SAS, and operate GAA. This should happen within a year. I'm one of WISPA's reps on the WinnForum Spectrum Sharing Committee, which is writing the rules and protocols for the SAS operations, and the process is moving reasonably quickly. Until then, you need to figure out if you can operate without interfering with an existing WBS user, and then you may be able to uh find a WBS license to operate under. Bear in mind that some WBS devices will qualify to become CBSDs, but others will not. The LTE stuff and some of the other high-grade stuff probably will. Other stuff (adapted Wi-Fi gear comes to mind) may have to sign off when the WBS licenses expire. Sorry to be a bit long-winded but it's a bit complicated, and I'm sure I left out some details that will matter... -- Fred R.

Re: [WISPA] 3.65 Ghz License
Faisal has good advice here. The licensed gear is marginally more expensive but just works. No worries about interference and you free up the unlicensed spectrum for what makes you $$$ - point to multipoint. You (probably) can't buy licensed spectrum for PtMP, but you can for point to point. The way the CBRS rules are working out I'm not convinced 3550-3700 is going to be a band you want to use for PTP due to the complexity of the SAS and the potential of required frequency changes.

Not quite. The band will not be divided like that, and PALs will not be assigned specific frequencies like PCS. A PAL grants the right to create a PAL Protection Area (PPA) within the owned census tracts. The SAS assigns the PAL channel. A PA licensee who claims multiple PALs in a location will be assigned contiguous channels if possible, but they can be any of the 10 from 3550-3650. (3650 up is all GAA, after incumbents are protected.) First they protect satellites, and those can go as low as 3600. Plus any radar, of course, when/where it pops up in the coastal zone. So if radar reduces the availability of channels, PAL can be shifted away and thus bump GAA. Given how PALs work, a CBSD may be PAL in one census tract and GAA in another. A PPA goes down to the -96 dBm contour but only gets protection from noise above -80 dBm, so within its PPA it could have a -16 dBm SNR. A PA licensee could even try putting on a lot of stuff GAA and then only invoke the PAL on sectors where it seems needed.

[WISPA] 3.65 GHz power rules; do you really understand them?
When the FCC issued the Report and Order (3.65 ROhttps://apps.fcc.gov/edocs_public/attachmatch/FCC-05-56A1.pdf) for the 3650-3700 MHz band in March of 2005, it set power limits in a manner not widely understood by many in the WISP community, as it based the limits for fixed operations on a formula relating to power density. Some quickly read 1 watt and assumed the limit was 36 dB EIRP, just as it is in the 5 GHz UNII rules now (that limit used to be only for the upper 5 GHz UNII, but was harmonized at the higher only recently). Even in the legacy ISM bands of 902-928 MHz, 2.4-2.5835 GHz and 5.725-5.850 GHz we are all familiar with that 1 watt 36 dB PMP EIRP limit (with the CPE side up or PTP links also allowing the 3:1 rule. Well, in 3.65 MHz that's actually not the rule. In this case, the rule applies a power density qualifier whereby that 1 watt limit is PER megahertz of frequency. Here's the language from the RO (page 19, paragraph 50): Consequently, [for fixed operations] we believe that EIRP limits should be specified not simply as a maximum power, but rather in terms of power density (i.e., power per unit of occupied bandwidth) For example, a system using a bandwidth of 25 megahertz may use the full 25 Watts peak EIRP, but a system using only 1 megahertz bandwidth may only use 1 watt peak EIRP; in either case, the power density is equivalent Therefore, we adopt a fixed station peak power density of 25 Watts EIRP in any 25 megahertz band. To make things even more clear, and to provide flexibility, the rule adds: Furthermore, to promote additional flexibility in system design, any combination of transmitter output power and antenna gain will be permitted, so long as the peak 25 Watt/25 megahertz EIRP limit is not exceeded. To drive home the point so as to be crystal clear, the FCC adds a few footnotes: 100 We note that, at frequency ranges above one-gigahertz, a power density measurement bandwidth of one megahertz would typically be specified. Consistent with that practice, and the intent of the rules adopted here, the maximum peak power density in any one-megahertz slice of spectrum in this band shall not exceed 1 Watt. 101 For example, the Wi-Max standard specifies various bandwidths. 102 For free space propagation, distance is proportional to the square of the distance or in terms of decibels distance doubles for each additional 6 dB of power... So how does this translate into your world? Well, this means if you are using 10 MHz channels, as those using WiMAX are limited to using, you have a peak EIRP of 40 dB on a 10 MHz channel. For those using 20 MHz, as most are doing with Wi-Fi derivative gear or the largest channel size option of LTE, the EIRP limit is 43 dB. Let's noodle this out further looking at dBm per port: If your radio has a max power of 22 dBm per port, that's 25 dBm when used in a 2x2 MIMO configuration. If you are using a Wi-Fi derived system at 20 MHz, any antenna under 18 dBi means you'd be running BELOW your power maximum. For example, 120 degree antennas are commonly used (many WISPs think three 120 degree sectors is the best way to get 360 degree coverage, which is not always the case, e.g. we use three 65 degree antennas). 13 dBi is a common gain for a 120 degree sector. Used with a 2x2 MIMO with peak power of 25 dBm gets you 38 dB EIRP -- that's 5 dB LESS than your maximum allowed power, or more thoroughly understood, more than 1/2 your total allowed power! Conversely, if your system produces 30 dBm max per port, that's 33 dBm in 2x2 MIMO Mode and 36 dBm in 4x4 MIMO mode if that capability exists. The total limit is still 40 dB EIRP in a 10 MHz channel and 43 dB EIRP in a 20 MHz channel, but antenna flexibility is increased without compromising max EIRP. To be sure, in such a case the operator must configure the base station to reduce to power output of the radio to avoid violating the FCC (or IC in Canada) limits. So when it comes to fixed wireless broadband in 3.65 MHz, stop thinking about 1 watt or 36 dB EIRP, as that is only true if you were using 1 MHz channels. Instead, focus on 1 watt PER 1 MHz. Finally, if we really want to have fun, we can talk about this additional verbiage in the FCC RO, but I'll leave that for another day: 54. In that light, we conclude that transmitters installed at fixed locations should not be prohibited from using any particular type of antenna design. As a general requirement, the EIRP in any antenna beam must be limited to 25 Watts per 25 megahertz. However, transmitters using sectorized, scanning spot-beam, or other antenna types with multiple beam capability shall be required to limit their EIRP in any direction to no more than the limit we are adopting for fixed systems (i.e., 25 Watts per 25 megahertz). Thus, the aggregate power transmitted simultaneously on overlapping beams will have to be reduced such that the EIRP in the area of overlap does not exceed the

Re: [WISPA] 3.65 sample letter to grandfather earth satellite
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 I would like that as well. I chatted with a 3.65 gear vendor, and they said the telcos don't care. It's the cable companies that do. Here in the Los Angeles area, I've found that to be the case. The Sprint/ATT ground stations are up in the Santa Monica mountains. Rolling out 3.65 service in LA/OC won't bother them one bit. However the cable companies have lots of unidentified ground stations, and have had issues with people utilizing 3.65 gear. So they would only grant me PtP rights and not PtMP. If anyone wants more details about operating 3.65 in Los Angeles feel free to contact me off list. I plan to roll it out soon now that UBNT has released some gear for it. :) On 01/04/2011 10:45 AM, Ken Nye wrote: I was wondering if anybody has a letter they sent to the Grandfathered Earth Satellite stations to request a 3.65 waiver?

Re: [WISPA] 3.65 sample letter to grandfather earth satellite
Below is what I sent to Sprint for their approval. It took 90 days for Sprint to respond but I got permission. I have some of the other earth stations contact information if you need it. -Cheers Dear Robin Cohen, I was given your email by Jerry Richardson of AirCloud Communications. I am writing to obtain approval to operate wireless broadband equipment in the 3.65 GHz to 3.70 GHz frequency range at the NNE edge of your exclusion zone. I have identified 2 FSS Earth Stations in Livermore / San Ramon, CA that I believe you operate: File number SESMOD2000112902270 located at 3745'39.70"N 12147'56.80"W. File number SESLIC1997103001576 located at 3745'40.00"N 12147'53.00"W. I would like to deploy point to multi-point systems for rural broadband access within parts of Nevada, Yuba, Sierra, and Placer counties. I will operate in full compliance with the FCC maximum EIRP regulations. I have attached an outline (in Google Earth format) with my approximated planned deployment areas. The very closest edge of this area to the Livermore / San Ramon facility would be approximately 145 Km. In addition I believe the profile from your site to our service area is obstructed. Please see attached profile. If you feel our proposed operation will not cause any interference at your Livermore / San Ramon facility I would welcome your execution zone waiver enabling us to deploy 3.65 in our rural area. If you have any questions or require any further information please do not hesitate to contact me.

[WISPA] 3.65 MIMO 2x2 CPE
I am surprised that there are a bunch of MIMO 2x2 APs (Alvarion, Moto, Airspan, etc) yet I cannot find a CPE. For foliage penetration the lack of the dual Tx on the CPE is a real disappointment. Has anyone seen a 802.16e true MIMO CPE? WISPA Wants You!

Re: [WISPA] 3.65 GHz WiMAX deal

Re: [WISPA] 3.65 GHz WiMAX deal
No. We use 802.16d, which is optimized for fixed wireless, and 802.16d does not support MIMO. MIMO would be nice, but we do not think it is worth the extra cost in the WiMAX system. As it is we get excellent range. Last week one of our engineers was in a major CA city with a customer and pulled 16 mbps stable over 13 km in a 7 MHz channel. The capacity (link permitting) is up to 20 mbps and I have seen it at those ranges.

Re: [WISPA] 3.65 GHz WiMAX deal
They don't support PPPoE, at least not in anything but the indoor unit which isn't available for 3.65 or 802.16D. I didn't think Aperto's gear which is 802.16d supports MIMO either, that's mostly an 802.16e spec unless they've come up with something proprietary. That's one of the reason's I'm down on Wimax, the radios are bare bones bridges for the most part, for the cost they are asking you think they could implement some niceties for fixed people, such as a robust management solution (not DHCP). Motorola is 802.16e and MIMO, as is Alvarion, WiNetworks and Airspan. Regards Michael Baird Subchannelization should help penetration a little also.

Re: [WISPA] 3.65 GHz WiMAX deal
What UBNT has shown is that one can go inexpensive alternatives and make them good products. The equivalent in WiMAX is PureWave Networks; their base station can do MIMO and beamforming and doesn't require an ASN-GW, which was the higher CAPEX for a small 802.16e deployment until they came along. Being 16e means you can have 10 MHz channels (best there is in the WiMAX world before 20 MHz 16m), MIMO, beamforming and can buy all those cheap asian CPEs instead of the vendor lock-in that happens in 16d. http://www.purewavenetworks.com Rubens On Thu, Mar 18, 2010 at 1:32 PM, Patrick Leary ple...@apertonet.com wrote: 802.11 and its MIMO costs are not relevant to WiMAX and its MIMO costs.

Re: [WISPA] 3.65 GHz WiMAX deal
In my limited toe-dipping into 802.16d (fixed) wimax, the biggest challenge I see is with the EMS-based control. It's just a completely different model than what we're doing with all-in-one AP's now. I don't yet completely understand how it works, but it concerns me a bit that each company has their own EMS (or whatever they choose to call it) that will not interoperate with other Wimax vendors' EMS, base station, etc. Maybe the EMS is a good way to go, so we don't have to invent so many for our current very customized networks.. Just a different way of thinking. Anyone deployed something small like a Tranzeo or small Aperto base station?

I could be wrong - guess its time for an education anyone know the benefits of WiMax? I will leave most of the sales guys that man these lists, but there are a number of benefits to WiMAX that make it a better solution than simple polling or tdma approaches. First thing to remember is that WiMAX was designed specifically for the way we use our networks. That is, outdoor where we will see noise AND where all stations to not see each other. There were a number of issues that WiMAX addresses revolving those 2 issues specifically. Secondly, WiMAX has built in QOS on the air interface. That is HUGE. The ability to have true QOS on that part of the network where protocols that need the least latency will get it, regardless of where they fit in the polling order as it were. The details here are astonishing and worth reading if you truly have an interest in answering the question why should I be interested in WiMAX. Having pointed out just one or two of the many benefits of WiMAX, I will say that I am not completely convinced that it is the cat's meow. There are a number of networks that do not need these benefits, given the cost. I won't reopen the good enough network argument, but the fact is that for many of us (most perhaps), polling or tdma is sufficient for the networks that we run and the cost of WiMAX makes it such that the cost is greater than the value. -- Randy Cosby Vice President InfoWest, Inc 435-674-0165 x 2010 http://www.infowest.com/ Letting off steam always produces more heat than light. - Neal A.

Re: [WISPA] 3.65 GHz WiMAX deal
Myth. Total Myth. There is no interoperability in 3.65 GHz that allows someone to source .16e CPE from any number of Cheap asian CPEs. That is one of the most 180 degrees wrong myths. The fact is that every vendor, regardless of the WiMAX standard, sells its own CPE precisely because the interoperability hype is total bull. What has happened is that unknowledgable people have confused the WiMAX Forum's efforts re interoperability in 2.5 GHz (limited as even that is) with it being somehow relative to other frequencies like quasi-licensed 3.65 GHz.

Re: [WISPA] 3.65 GHz WiMAX deal
My point stands Ruben; thanks for making it for me further. You are referring to a licensed frequency of 3.5 GHz. I am referring to quasi (really unlicensed from a practical standpoint) 3.65 GHz. I have been around the block a very long time in this business. The rude fact is that the big companies don't care about this small (from a global perspective) U.S. niche band of 3.65 GHz enough to put any money and resources into interoperability. It is not like globally accepted (U.S. not withstanding) licensed 3.5 GHz (which is still a tiny market relative to Wi-Fi) and the even smaller licensed 2.5 GHz in the U.S. (or 2.3 GHz WiBRO in South Korea). I am well compentent and authoritative enough to speak on this industry far beyond the narrow confines of my company. And as I have been doing since Dec 1999 when I first hit the lists, I will call BS and/or clarify market misunderstanding when I see it.

I have to admit if MIMO is made available in the 3.65 range I'm going to use it in my city. I've been catering to my rural customers because 2.4 and 5GHZ isn't clogged out there. We already have a 3.65 license but haven't deployed it yet, I anxiously await the MIMO gear on that frequency. Forbes WISPA Wants You!

Re: [WISPA] 3.65 GHz WiMAX deal
Here is what I got Hi folks, We don't know about you, but we at California-based Aperto Networks are tired of waiting for stimulus dollars to trickle into the WISP business, so we are taking matters into our own hands. So Aperto Networks -- the 802.16 pioneer and WiMAX leader -- is excited to offer the 3.65 and 5 GHz carrier class and commercial grade (not the residential CPE) PM320 PacketMAX CPE for only $199 each to the WISP. Effective immediately, the price applies to all N type CPE in either band and 17 dbi integrated (3.65 GHz) and 20 dBi (5 GHz). 5 GHz with integrated 21 dBi and 3.65 GHz with integrated 20 dBi are $220 to the WISP. There are no packs and no minimum quantities to get this price -- buy even just one, same price. Because you'll also need base stations to connect to, we are also offering full sector kits that support over 250 CPE per sector for these bands for $5000, including PM3000 1U base station, respective frequency base station radio (BSR), full sector and EMS license, antenna cable, sync cable and sector antenna of your choice (60, 60 or 120 degree, or omni). To qualify for this base station pricing, a minimum of 10 CPE must be included per base station. There are no hidden items; these all-in-one full sector kits. This promotion runs from this week to April 15, but because we know you need firm pricing for CAPEX planning, we will extend a price guarantee at these prices to any WISP who buys at least 5 sector kits by April 15. What does this get you? -One low price and you tailor your package to fit your need. oAll-in-one 3.65 or 5.8 GHz carrier class WiMAX sector (excludes 75 ohm LMR 400). oReduce your CAPEX permanently. Reduce your OPEX dramatically compared to Wi-Fi. oWiMAX at near Wi-Fi pricing with price protection with purchase of 5 or more sectors. oYou choose any combination of N type or various integrated antenna CPE options. oYou choose 60, 90, 120 degree sector options - or even an omni. oLowest total cost of ownership solution that can support over 250 CPE/sector (really). oUSDA RUS Accepted, globally-proven and built by 802.16 and WiMAX pioneer Aperto. oMonitor and manage thousands of CPE with included WaveCenter EMS and all licenses (server not included). -Technically advanced. Field proven. Feature rich, yet easy to deploy. oBuilt-in sync with cascaded local sectors; 7 MHz channels minimizes noise exposure. o20 mbps/sector net, even with full QoS and WiMAX service flows implemented. oSupports scaled toll quality voice concurrent with data and/or video. oConfigurable symmetric or asymmetry up to 70:30 in either direction. oAuto set forget or manual provisioning; Internet-based CPE management. oAutomatic dynamic power control, ARQ, VLANs, certificate-based encryption. oBuilt-in frequency spectrum analyzer.

Re: [WISPA] 3.65 GHz WiMAX deal
The soft licensing ensures that anyone randomly throwing AP's in the air without registering will be subject to enforcement by the FCC.

Re: [WISPA] 3.65 GHz WiMAX deal
anyone know the benefits of WiMax? I will leave most of the sales guys that man these lists, but there are a number of benefits to WiMAX that make it a better solution than simple polling or tdma approaches. After working some years in a WiMAX operator I couldn't agree more with Butch. The technology is incredibly good for outdoor networks. But besides better pricing (CPE, BS, spectrum), one thing I missed from current WiMAX technology was large channel size. Fixed WiMAX is usually available with 3.5 or 7 MHz channels; mobile WiMAX with 5 or 10 MHz channels. Wi-Fi already had non-standard 40 MHz with Turbo A/G and now has 40 MHz standard with 802.11n. With a small channel, even a high goodput/Hz couldn't go very far coping with increasing demands and we ended up installing unlicensed spectrum radios. My current mindset is that WiMAX is good for every application besides Internet access for computers. Surveillance, telephony and Internet access for mobile devices (including public safety and first responders) are all applications that WiMAX would edge out any other technology available on the market, as of Q1CY2010. 4G WiMAX (802.16m) might change that, I don't know. Will wait and see. Rubens WISPA Wants You!

Re: [WISPA] 3.65 GHz WiMAX deal
I have a small wimax deployment with 20 subs and 130 phone lines and I wouldn't change a thing. All business customers with very high quality voip. I section all the voip traffic out with ugs and leave the Internet as best effort to guarantee service levels. All my subs can easily get 5-6 megs upload which is far better than dsl or cable. And the best part is you set it and it is the same every day. All units keep the highest modulation (qam 64 3/4). If you do have one unit that has a week signal it really has no effect on the overall system. There are many other benefits but that is a few off the top of my head.

[WISPA] 3.65 BS
What is the issue? Is it the cost factor?? Are they being schmucks??? What is it. The Commission Part 25.256 states that the earth station _must negotiate_ in good faith with the terrestrial licensee (thats you) to arrive at _mutually agreeable_ operating _parameters_ to prevent unacceptable interference It does not say you need to pay their engineering firm bocu dollars every time you want to put up a base station. The rules explicitly say that they need to come up with operating PARAMETERS not procedures. They can't say you need to have their cousin Mikey do the engineering study and you pay them $3000 each time you want to do it and then they will approve each individual engineering study. It says they have to come up with a set of operating parameters not procedures. Tell them you need a set of operating parameters to ensure that you don't interfere with them. And they can't ignore you. The Commission states they must negotiate with you. Document all your correspondence in writing, certified mail and build a case. When they fail to respond appropriately you can submit your own engineering study and request the Commission make a determination at that point.

When I was working for a WiSP in NoVA two years ago I was working on this and had to deal with Comsearch. At that point in time, I found out a ways through it they did one and at the outset they quoted me some gargantuan price. I said no way Jose. They eventually came back with a cheaper price which was more reasonable. They (the earth stations) were looking to have every location approved. THen a few months later Comsearch pulled the plug on them doing the engineering work. Last year they then put up this website http://www.comsearch.com/interactive_solutions/3650MHz_Quick_Look/overview.jsp so it seems they are back in that biz again. I have to go back through my files (I moved last April and haven't unpacked my office yet) and see who was the one company that was at least cordial to us. The Commission is going to have to do better than what they did. I was going to originally do my testing in the Amateur 3.5 band down there but then I left and now here at PAETEC. Doing testing in the amateur band would have been ok since I am a licensee and I would have put my callsign in the SSID for id purposes. 73 Leon WA4ZLW No virus found in this outgoing message.

Re: [WISPA] 3.65 options for PtP
Absolutely. Your choice of WAR boards, running Star-OS, inside of the Arc Wireless universal enclosure, attached to an 18 db arc wireless panel. That IS the certified antenna, and the FCC happily accepts licensing these links (I know by experience). Total cost for both ends varies from almost exactly 800 to nearly 1100 depending on how you mount, which cpu board you use, etc, etc.The WAR 1 board is only sufficient for about 800 - 900KB throughput, whereupon the latency begins to climb.Higher power cpu's will give you more throughput.I don't know the precise maximum throughput under ideal conditions. -- From: rwf r...@bsrg.org Sent: Friday, January 29, 2010 3:01 PM To: 'WISPA General List' wireless@wispa.org Subject: [WISPA] 3.65 options for PtP I need to do a lot (20+) very short distance links in a medium sized city that has a highly RF polluted environment. 5.x GHz isn't an option.

[WISPA] 3.65 GHz Coalition to approach FCC for rule changes
To list members: Yesterday, Redline hosted a conference call with 15 operator participants to kick off a coalition of operators who have deployed or plan to deploy broadband wireless systems in the 3.65 GHz band in the US, with the goal to discuss the current license exempt rules, some of the coexistence issues being experienced in the field, suggestions for improvements/resolution, and the necessary steps to influence change within the FCC. I encourage any interested operators (or vendors) to contact Keith Doucet, Redline's VP Customer Advocacy (kdou...@redlinecommunications.com or +1.905.479.8344 x2298). Keith has participated in the rule setting for the 3.65 GHz band in Canada and has extensive experience in working with regulators internationally. Keith plans on hosting a follow-up call next week on this topic. Thanks, Kevin Redline Communications Inc.

Has anyone put forth a serious effort to develop the mechanism they call for, or have people seriously tried, and just been rejected without just reasoning? - Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com -- From: Kevin Suitor ksui...@redlinecommunications.com Sent: Thursday, October 22, 2009 11:39 AM To: WISPA General List wireless@wispa.org; WISPA Members BTOP-BIP List btop-...@wispa.org Cc: Keith Doucet kdou...@redlinecommunications.com Subject: [WISPA] 3.65 GHz Coalition to approach FCC for rule changes To list members: Yesterday, Redline hosted a conference call with 15 operator participants to kick off a coalition of operators who have deployed or plan to deploy broadband wireless systems in the 3.65 GHz band in the US, with the goal to discuss the current license exempt rules, some of the coexistence issues being experienced in the field, suggestions for improvements/resolution, and the necessary steps to influence change within the FCC. I encourage any interested operators (or vendors) to contact Keith Doucet, Redline's VP Customer Advocacy (kdou...@redlinecommunications.com or +1.905.479.8344 x2298). Keith has participated in the rule setting for the 3.65 GHz band in Canada and has extensive experience in working with regulators internationally. Keith plans on hosting a follow-up call next week on this topic. Thanks, Kevin Redline Communications Inc.
