Is Alvarion going to do the same for 5.8G unlicensed Wimax?All though license and high power may not be there, the technical features could have a major positive impact.

A. More power Tom. B. Much more sophistication in the equipment yielding much higher spectral efficiency and system gain.Frequency plays a major role, but you need to understand that other factors are of almost similar levels of importance. For example, our 802.16e versionof WiMAX uses SOFDMA with beam forming and 4th order diversity at the basestation and MIMO with 6 antennae embedded in the self-install CPE with a SIMcard. Couple that with higher power available in a licensed allocation and you get zero truck roll self-install CPE with no external antenna.

What makes 3.5Ghz appropriate for the task?With 3650 from what I understood, is only supposed to be allowed for PtP ormobile service only (not indoor) based on the high power levels allowed. Not sure whats at the other 3.5G ranges in US.

Airspan for example claims their wimax solution works indoors to about 3 miles out, which is pretty good IMHO. When you can deliver a zero truck roll model with 90% or above availablity, is when operators by the truckload will deploy equipment. At that point, you will see deployments in the thousands, like the ones in mexico of 750,000 homes serviced. - Jeff On Thu, 25 May 2006 02:20:23 -0400, "Tom DeReggi" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> said:How do you figure?
