Patrick is correct - Flarion was working on 802.20 (full mobility broadband) which, with the borging of Flarion by Qualcomm, has essentially terminated. Mobile Broadband standards work now seems to have shifted fully over to 802.16e / Mobile WiMAX (which will be 100% licensed spectrum.)

It depends on the depth of modulation used and other factors. In a 6 meg TV channel space I am guessing you could easily see 15 to 20 megabit aggregate throughput over a good coverage area. (Maybe 3 miles radius?) NOTE: The above are generalized best guesses on my part as I have never even

I knew there was an 802.22 effort but I had no idea that it was geared for any particular spectrum until now. Glad to hear the efforts are underway. Isn't Flarion's IP based closely on what will be 802.22? Was there an earlier effort for 802.22 standards development that was spectrum agnostic?
