Well right, but that doesn't really say much. I finally just went to the RO:
In this Report and Order, we modify our rules to allow operation at higher
power levels
by 60 GHz unlicensed devices that use an antenna exceeding a specific gain and
operate outdoors.
Specifically, for 60 GHz devices located outdoors, we increase the average
equivalent isotropically
radiated power (EIRP) limit from 40 dBm to 82 dBm minus 2 dB for every dB that
the antenna gain is
below 51 dBi, and peak EIRP emission limit from 43 dBm to 85 dBm minus 2 dB for
every dB that the
antenna gain is below 51 dBi. Also, the amended rules will specify the emission
limits for all 60 GHz
devices in terms of equivalent isotropically radiated power (EIRP). These rule
changes will provide
needed flexibility to improve performance and provide cost savings for
unlicensed devices to support
broadband service in the 60 GHz band. These revisions also have the potential
to foster the development
of products with longer operating distances than are achievable under the
current rules and to promote use
of the 60 GHz band as a vehicle for broadband transmission links. This will
encourage the development
of very high speed wireless links for use in locations where highways, parking
lots, or other obstructions
may prevent the extension of fiber or wireline connections, to connect multiple
buildings in a campus
environment, or to provide backhaul connections for new 4G wireless services.
Looking at Bridgewave's specs, a 2' is 46 dBi. So are we looking at 4' dishes
to be over 51 dBi? If EIRP is going from 40 to 82 and the antenna is 6 of that,
are we looking at 36 dB more out of the transmitter? That's a world of more
power, unless I'm misunderstanding? If you thought aligning an airFiber was
difficult... ;-)
Most importantly, why are we just now hearing about this once the proceeding is
over? It seems like there have been a few things happening at the FCC lately
that we're not aware of until after it is over. Why is that? Is there some FCC
listserv or RSS feed we should be watching?

More tx power in relations to the beamwidth of the antenna…..

*nods* I read the article, but it was short on details and I was short on time
to actually look up what they did.
