Re: [WISPA] 3.650 and the FCC

[Marlon K. Schafer]

Probably not Mike.

But the FCC DID leave the rules wide open.  My belief is that they wanted to 
see what kind of creative interference avoidance mechanisms the 
manufacturers could create.

If you believe that the new equipment is really bad, you might try pointing 
out that it'll be impossible to avoid interference with it.  That flies in 
the face of the FCC's requirement to work out interference issues with 
others.  I mean, if there is no way to avoid interference when using the new 
equipment how can an operator live within the rules of non interference?

As I recall, we did lobby for GPS sync in this band.  Maybe we didn't but I 
thought we had.  Perhaps that should be a required non interference 
mechanism?

laters,
marlon

Re: [WISPA] 3.650 and the FCC

Well it seems

Also, GPS sync its not the same on all the systems, take for instance
Airspan, their FCC certified Micromax AP for 3.65 would not allow
channel reuse even with gps ... I would just help cochannel issues
between Aps ... So how do you plan for a big cell network with limited
GPS and no channel reuse?  Put in the mix 1 or 2 additional providers
and you'll get nowhere!

Hi Folks,

 

Help me understand what the FCC is doing..

 

They are approving low end 3.650 gear, PTP gear etc.  A lot of this gear
is the spit and bailing wire type systems that are not spectrally
efficient, don't support GPS, and certainly don't coordinate or play
nice with other systems.  I am afraid we are about to see one the best
spectrum allocations in recent times turn into a garbage band.  I am
sure the FCC desires that everyone use this spectrum to its fullest
extent, but the recent certifications spell doom for the band
altogether.  I have coordinated multiple systems in the same airspace
for a number of our customers.  With GPS this is a simple matter of
planning.  Without GPS it is flat impossible with only 25Mhz to work
with.

 

Am I missing something?

 

Mike

[WISPA] 3.650 and the FCC

[Mike Cowan]

Hi Folks,

 

Help me understand what the FCC is doing..

 

They are approving low end 3.650 gear, PTP gear etc.  A lot of this gear is
the spit and bailing wire type systems that are not spectrally efficient,
don't support GPS, and certainly don't coordinate or play nice with other
systems.  I am afraid we are about to see one the best spectrum allocations
in recent times turn into a garbage band.  I am sure the FCC desires that
everyone use this spectrum to its fullest extent, but the recent
certifications spell doom for the band altogether.  I have coordinated
multiple systems in the same airspace for a number of our customers.  With
GPS this is a simple matter of planning.  Without GPS it is flat impossible
with only 25Mhz to work with.

 

Am I missing something?

 

Mike
