Re: [WISPA] Needing to run 48 fiber strands about 300 feet.

[Josh Luthman]

Thank Bill Prince.

I've ordered from them a couple of times and couldn't be happier.
Great price, service and quality.  I believe they aren't doing it in
house, so if you can find out where it comes from let me know =)

Re: [WISPA] CTIA keynote Genachosky 3.5 ghz for small cells

[Mike Hammett]

Copy and paste from Steve's February 20th post on this topic:

3550-3650 MHz

Earlier versions of both the Senate and House versions would have required the 
FCC to auction the 3550-3650 MHz band (with certain exceptions), which is 
currently used by the Department of Defense and is not allocated for commercial 
use.  WISPA argued that this band should be made available for unlicensed use 
given the coastal exclusion zones identified in NTIA's report, which depicted 
areas that could be affected by shipborne radar if certain high-power, WiMax, 
mobile technology were used.  We also stated that mobile interests had gone on 
record at the FCC as saying they did not want this band, that NTIA used flawed 
assumptions and that WISPs were interested in the spectrum because of its 
proximity to the 3650-3700 MHz band.  We also believe that sharing with Federal 
radar is possible (through databases, sensing, etc.) if the 3650-3700 MHz 
technical rules are applied.  Sharing should be made easier if the technical 
rules are based on low-power, fixed operations.



The final version removed the auction mandate, but requires NTIA to give 
priority to options involving exclusive non-Federal use and shall choose 
sharing only if NTIA and OMB determine that relocation of a Federal user is not 
feasible because of technical or cost constraints.  Thus, the 3550-3650 MHz 
band could be subject to auction ("exclusive use") unless it is not feasible to 
relocate Federal users and, if that's the case, commercial and Federal users 
could share the band under technical rules the FCC would adopt.  The radar uses 
in the 3550-3650 MHz band may be difficult to relocate, which would make the 
case for shared unlicensed use easier.  We'll be looking at this closely.

Re: [WISPA] CTIA keynote Genachosky more Unlicesed!

[Mike Hammett]

Copy + paste from Steve's email on February 20th. It looks like we're getting 
5350 - 5470 included. Due to the bands around it, I assume it'll have the same 
DFS, 30 dB limits. I hope that the higher 75 MHz comes out with 5.8 GHz rules.


=
The spectrum legislation identifies two additional bands for possible 
unlicensed use.  First, NTIA, the Department of Defense and other agencies will 
study spectrum-sharing and risks to incumbent Federal users if unlicensed U-NII 
devices were allowed to operate in the 5350-5470 MHz and 5850-5925 MHz bands -- 
total of 195 MHz of spectrum.  The agencies will issue reports on their 
findings.  The report for the 5350-5470 MHz band is due in eight months and the 
report on the the 5850-5925 MHz band is due in 18 months.  Again, WISPA should 
be a part of this process.
