The use of compliance test is one of the reasons the FCC is clamping down on 5 ghz…

DFS always comes second due to a longer certification process. It'll eventually come. Some manufacturers seem to get approved more quickly, but that could be timing of announcements and not the actual certification process. -50 dBm? Where? Where? I do see where your address is and I am suspect. I am in suburban Chicago and I have at worst -70 noise floor. It's actually better in downtown Chicago at someone I know's apartment 22 floors up (maybe low-E glass?). Something is very wrong if you have a -50 dB noise floor. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com ________________________________ From: "Art Stephens" <asteph...@ptera.com<mailto:asteph...@ptera.com>> To: wireless@wispa.org<mailto:wireless@wispa.org> Sent: Friday, January 31, 2014 10:29:09 AM Subject: [WISPA] Are we being muscled out of the 5265 - 5700 frequencies? Recent events make me wonder if the FCC is trying to muscle wisps out of these frequencies. Since we are primarily Ubiquiti equipment I can only speak from that platform. First the latest firmware update removes compliance test which for about 40% of our equipment deployed would render them unusable since 5735 - 5840 runs at - 50dBm or higher noise levels in our area, Second is new product released only supports 5735 - 5840. Seems like DFS is such a pain that manufacturers do not want to mess with it. Case in point the new NanoBeam M series only support 5725-5850 for USA. Worldwide version which we are not allowed to buy or deploy supports 5170-5875. Seems the only alternative is to go with licensed P2MP which makes more money for the FCC and drives the cost of wireless internet up for both wisps and consumers. -- Arthur Stephens Senior Networking Technician Ptera Inc.
