update and a question for you guys
Here is the relevant paragraph.
"The Notice proposed to require that fixed
unlicensed devices incorporate a geo-location method such as GPS or be
professionally installed, and that they access a database to identify vacant
channels at their location. It proposed to require that portable
unlicensed devices operate only when they receive a control signal from a
source such as an FM or TV station that identifies the vacant TV channels in
that particular area. The Commission also sought comment on the use of
spectrum sensing to identify vacant TV channels, but did not propose any
specific technical requirements for devices that use spectrum
sensing."
The GPS requirement does not seem to present a
problem, for Fixed Wireless, many GPs devices cna be incorporated into any
PC. As for a data base that exists and is available from Brian Webster [EMAIL PROTECTED] ,
or could be accomodated to ID vacant channels at a given location. If
this is all that is required the information is already
available.
For "Portable Unlicensed devices" the
requirement is more difficult, I admit. But to run a test for fixed
unlicensed devices this should be much more straight forward.
What do you guys think?

Similar to the 2.4 to 900mhz

I think it's important to have the support of WISPA on this,
