Jack My humble opinion is that using TVWS for backhauls is a waste of resources
My points Current and future bandwidth requirement of wisps and celcos for towers are in the 50 Mbps + , so you'll plenty of spectrum to meet the demands, I'll say more than 50 MHz per link Propagation of tvws freqs would yield in poor density of ptp links Antenna sizes for ptp links would be a barrier The FCC should seek out a space for ptp links on a higher band like 2 or 3 ghz But requiere a strict sync protocol for high freq reuse Sent from my Motorola Startac...
