[WISPA] FCC Public Notice
For those interested in WSI's request to the FCC for a declaratory ruling, there is additional information on the web site (www.wirelessstrategies.net http://www.wirelessstrategies.net/ ) under FCC Public Notice. Mike Would you like to see your advertisement here? Let the WISPA Board know your feelings about allowing advertisements on the free WISPA lists. The current Board is taking this under consideration at this time. We want to know your thoughts. -- WISPA Wireless List: wireless@wispa.org Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://lists.wispa.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless Archives: http://lists.wispa.org/pipermail/wireless/
RE: [WISPA] FCC Public Notice
Tom/Charles The whole objective is to increase the effective use of spectrum under the existing rules. NO WAIVERS, NO RULE CHANGES and NO INCREASED INTERFERENCE. To maintain the existing frequency coordination efficiencies the path antennas must meet CAT A (or B) and their size will be large. It is the wasted side lobe radiation that can be put to productive use with subordinated paths where the radiation from the Distributed Radiating Elements (DREs) at the input to any victim receiver is always below the coordinated interference or 6dB below the victim receiver's thermal noise. The size shape etc of the DRE can be any size or shape (small) providing all the network criteria is satisfied.

I HIGHLY support NOT lowering the antenna size requirement for 11Ghz, as anything smaller than its at today, just compromises long haul backhaul applications, in which WISPs do not have many option for long haul. At 8-10 miles, a couple extra Degrees of beamwidth is capable of interfering with a much wide length of area in the city effected. Although, I'd like to see 6Ghz lowered to 4 ft dishes. There isn't a landlord in their right mind that would allow a 6 ft antenna installed on their roof. Or maybe a nicely designed 3 ft model, possibly acceptable.
