[WISPA] 3650Mhz Access Update

2009-04-30 Thread Charles Wyble
So I talked with someone who is heavily involved in the operation of 
3650Mhz ground stations.

The 30 second summary:

Mobile applications are out of the question.
Fixed point to point applications are possible.
Talk to comsearch.

Slightly longer summary:

He mentioned http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low-noise_block_converter
being extremely sensitive and receiving pico watts from a satellite in 
space. Retrofitting is possible but at substantial expense.

Evidently the operators have already received interference and it's 
caused interruption of service.

He mentioned that for every licensed down link there are numerous others 
who aren't licensed.

These ground stations are utilized by every cable company and are all 
over the Los Angeles region.

So it looks like access to the 3650 spectrum may be possible but it has 
the potential to be a time consuming and expensive process.
