That product doesn't have FCC approval. It's aimed at Europe. In the US, 10.0-10.5 is primary for government radiolocation (RADAR), secondary for amateur. 10.5-10.66 is covered by Subpart G, That's "Digital Electronic Message Service", a split-frequency (FDD) point-to-multipoint service where the master and all nodes are licensed. Its technical requirements are pretty stringent so unless UBNT specifically built for it, it probably wouldn't pass. I don't actually know of anyone using DEMS licenses at this time. I suspect it is a vestige of 1980's XTEN. (Once upon a time, Xerox wanted to become a Player in telecom. It got the FCC to allocate a 10 GHz band for a PtMP WLL service it wanted to rollout, and it bought the undersea carrier WUI... and then abandoned the whole thing.) -- Fred Goldstein k1io fgoldstein "at" ionary.com ionary Consulting http://www.ionary.com/ +1 617 795 2701 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WISPA Wants You!
