I got a WISPAPALOOZA related email from a TVWS vendor I’d never heard of before. Still didn’t pique my interest. I think TVWS is now at best a niche solution, maybe for monitoring “things” in remote areas.

I thought it was hanging out with the Edsel On my original post, going through each customer, there was a marked increase in usage overall, people coming in as it got cold, that combined with the increased noise floor (cooler weather, corn buffer being gone) and whatever was going on in the atmosphere and too many poor installs, it was a perfect storm that should have been expected. pulling all the heavy users off to other systems, downtilting APs, and lowering the maximum rate sold on this system after doing the fresh coordination and implementing some of the recomendations on configs seems to have brought it to manageable disaster. Rumor is Rise is "upgrading" around Thanksgiving in the area. I would like to see how baicell performs when that environment shows up. What is the deal on the 1W and 10W base station with baicells?

In a situation where the customer is buried in trees, I figure the trees will probably block most interference, but upstream may be vulnerable. If it’s a “forest town” as you describe, are you counting on CBRS and the spectrum database to protect against interference? Forest of trees seems like TVWS would have a better chance than anything in the GHz range. ~Setj -- If you only see yourself as part of the team but you don't see your team as part of yourself you have already failed as part of the team.
