To be clear, TVWS is different than 700 MHz. The 700 MHz band sold at
auction. TVWS is lower in frequency which will mean even larger antennas for
equivalent gain. The physics of i

think the biggest advantage of BPL is that the transport (grid) is
already there. Plug & play!

I keep seeing desire to have a special category set aside for PtP backhaul

To those of you that understand the extreme rural environments... Is this at

Thanks for catching that...it must not have been updated when the grant

Internationally, it can operate from 3.3GHz to 3.7GHz.

Ultimately, I imagine anyone that has a product we use now will be there.
First? Ubiquiti, no doubt. They are very fast at developing products and
already have a product for the 700 MHz band with really no users, although
700 MHz is a different animal than 50 - 690.

Just to clear things up:
The EPA has not yet accepted these, but the type of device is not
susceptible to melting down, blowing up, or anything else like that. The
