W/out a license, 3.6 is going to work just as *bad* You really need 700 (or a <1 GHz band) to really get mobility / portability in an unlicensed / uncoordinated environment

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? > You don't think 5.4 is going to solve part of that? > > Tom DeReggi > RapidDSL & Wireless, Inc > IntAirNet- Fixed Wireless Broadband > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Jeffrey Thomas" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: "WISPA General List" <wireless@wispa.org> > Sent: Wednesday, May 24, 2006 10:55 PM > Subject: Re: [WISPA] 3650 equipment > > > > Frankly, > > > > The FCC should really hurry up and finish the rules to allow the > > industry > > to > > really take off.
