yes, but what are your link tests on canopy 900? Sure it'll hold a link but if
you're only moving "serial data", it can have uplink percentage of 8% and still
get the data through... :)

I have yet to see a good FHSS radio get knocked off the air be it serial or
Ethernet. I can only speak about GE MDS, Freewave, MaXstream MicroHard and
CalAMP. Canopy 900MHz is still working in many areas of town even near
refinery and water companies MAS farm. TxDOT using MDS and Encom for
ITS....all in the 902-928MHz band with EPEC deploying Itron and Neptune smart
meters......
It does take work but so far ..knock on wood

Yep, lived it.
The discussions PG&E ended with “Our lawyers say we are in compliance,
take it up with them”.
OK then….
We managed to keep some links up, but ultimately it relegated 900 to
very low density neighborhoods and links that needed to be -65 or better at
both ends.

I think the point some are missing is the lesson learned from 900Mhz
and smart meters.
While 900Mhz is unlicensed spectrum, a single operator has managed to
take it over in California to the point where no other user has any chance of
using the spectrum for commercial purposes.
By this I mean that PG&E’s deployment of smart meters on every power
meter in the area, and on top of power poles, and other high sites, has raised
the noise floor on this band to unusable levels for high speed communications.
So by means of overwhelming numbers, PG&E managed to take over 900Mhz
for its own users, stranding the investment of ISPs in this spectrum in
affected markets. I don’t think the commissions initial concept of unlicensed
spectrum was that a single operator would do this, I think they expected
operators by this to use licensed spectrum.
I’d like to see a limit on how many systems a particular entity can
deploy in an unlicensed band. It could be some high number, like 1 million
units.
