Re: [WISPA] 24ghz links

2009-03-29 Thread Charles Wu
It's my understanding that 24 GHz is priced pretty close to 23 GHz (~$10-15k / link depending on antennas / configuration / etc) -- so unless you're in the Canada, I don't see why anyone wouldn't just pay the extra $2k to get a FCC license -Charles -Original Message- From:
