I've never heard of anyone using 3.5ghz in the US, but I think it is a pretty common band in other parts of the world... and there certainly is gear out there (Cambium even makes PMP450 for that band). On Wed, Feb 3, 2016 at 2:04 PM, Ken Hohhof wrote: > I thought there was licensed spectrum arou

I thought there was licensed spectrum around 3.5 GHz but can’t find anything in the FCC band plan, maybe I am remembering wrong, or maybe that is somewhere else in the world? I thought that was part of the appeal of 3650 was there was already WiMAX equipment built for licensed 3.5 GHz as well a
