Sorry to Hijack this but what was the final EIRP determined by the FCC on 3.65? I remember they were talking about allowing 24 watts I believe I read on the site somewhere. Lastly where on the fcc site do you register your base stations? What about searching the site for deployed base stations in

I'd like to add that in the USA, its really only good to use a 1watt radio for the CPE side, taking advantage of PtP rules, for long distances. Using the full 30db at the AP is like death, if we remember back to the Metrocom days. Installing full power radios with 6 db omnis spewing noise in

Arg, with all due respect if you are having trouble with noise, those Prox T1 radios are just going to inflict noise on the others. May I ask what problem you are having with Trango and what model? Are you using their T1 giga? Or just Ethernet radios? You might want to try a smaller

SS7 A links are very touchy. All radios I have used that were designed for T1 work much better than using TDM over IP mux gear. Noise is no issue. There isn't another transmitter within 25 miles. I have used PCom, Proxim and Westernmux T1 radios at other places with no problems at all. This

I have said this over and over in various forums: Throttling/shaping on a per-application basis is not a good idea. Bandwidth caps and pay-per-bit are the correct way to handle bandwidth hogs. The FCC doesn't care how you limit, as long as you apply it equally to all bandwidth types.
