Probably not Mike. But the FCC DID leave the rules wide open. My belief is that they wanted to see what kind of creative interference avoidance mechanisms the manufacturers could create.
If you believe that the new equipment is really bad, you might try pointing out that it'll be impossible to avoid interference with it. That flies in the face of the FCC's requirement to work out interference issues with others. I mean, if there is no way to avoid interference when using the new equipment how can an operator live within the rules of non interference? As I recall, we did lobby for GPS sync in this band. Maybe we didn't but I thought we had. Perhaps that should be a required non interference mechanism? laters, marlon ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mike Cowan" <mi...@wirelessconnections.net> To: "'WISPA General List'" <wireless@wispa.org> Sent: Saturday, March 21, 2009 3:26 AM Subject: [WISPA] 3.650 and the FCC > Hi Folks, > > > > Help me understand what the FCC is doing.. > > > > They are approving low end 3.650 gear, PTP gear etc. A lot of this gear > is > the spit and bailing wire type systems that are not spectrally efficient, > don't support GPS, and certainly don't coordinate or play nice with other > systems.
