[WISPA] 6 Ghz Questions

2007-10-14 Thread Gino Villarini
Hey List I don't have much experience with licensed 6 ghz so I have the following question based on this scenario: I have the opportunity to acquire a couple of underused 6ghz microwave paths. They are based on Harris DS3 equipment. They are currently installed on towers that are about 500 to 1

Hi, I would contact MicroNet (www.micronetcom.com) and see. My guess would be because you are moving the locations is that you would have to start from scratch. New path analysis, new licenses. Total cost is probably $2,500. Travis Microserv Gino Villarini wrote: Hey List I don't have muc

Well that's what I thought, but due to the limited availability of 6ghz in the area, I might up end empty handed!. I thought that since the GPS cords provided to the FCC in the path description are not that accurate, I could make a location change within x amount of feet. Gino A. Villarini [EMAIL

Hi, I think even without going to decimal notation on the GPS coordinates, they are still accurate to within 100 feet. Also, if the towers they are on now have FCC numbers, then the licenses would have been tied to those FCC tower numbers as well. Travis Microserv Gino Villarini wrote: W

1. yes 2. licenses are done on a per-site basis...since you are moving the site, it would be treated as a new license (there is a possibility that you could "claim" rounding error for the path move, but I would imagine it is more than likely that a tower large enough to hold solid parabolic 6' wou

Regarding the 6 GHz license, you could just recoordinate on that frequency...the only person who would object would be the license holder, who shouldn't if you're buying the radios / license from them =) -Charles -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Beh

We currently use 10 GHz links and experience minor rain fade. Thinking of migrating to 60/80 GHz for higher throughput, can anyone give me a comparison of rain fade at 80/60 GHz relative to 10 GHz. Thanks in advance Cheers Senthil Maree

How far is your link? Rain fade at 60/80 GHz is about 5-8x that of 10 GHz Plus, the antenna beamwidths at 60/80 GHz are so tight that tower / building sway at distances greater than 10 miles become a MAJOR concern -Charles -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTEC
