Re: [WISPA] Whitespace Equipment
JAck, Why do you say first quarter 2011? Is that when TV broadcasters will be off the band? Or when you think that the FCC will finalize rules? Or when FCC will finalize certification process? Or how long before GEO data base will be complete? I thought they might have product made in early 2010, (even if not certifiable or usable by 2011) considering first generation prototypes has already been around for a while. To atleast know who the manufacturer players will be.

Re: [WISPA] Whitespace Equipment
What I have so far is captured at http://www.socalwifi.net/index.php/3650_to_3700_mhz_spectrum_information I've been busy with some other things most of the first quarter (changing jobs and residences) but that's winding down. I plan to reach out to the contacts mentioned there very soon. I also need to post some data that I got from the FCC OET, as the published calculations in regards to the exclusion zones have errors.

Jack, Thanks for the reply. It would appear that 3650 is where efforts should be focused for those of us here in SoCal.

Re: [WISPA] Whitespace Equipment
Charles, I estimate availability of TVWS equipment to be around the first quarter of 2011 however in southern California (because of all the existing TV stations) there will be few-to-none TVWS channels available. TVWS will be most practical (and available) in rural areas where there are not as many existing TV broadcasters. jack Charles Wyble wrote: > All, > > What is the current status of whitespace gear availability? > > I'm ramping up my WISP efforts here in SoCal and am looking at a > combination of TVWS and 3650 for back haul/aggregation. > > I know who the 3650 players are, and the licensing process etc. Still > working on negotiating access to the protected zones. > > Who should I be talking to about TVWS gear? > > > > WISPA Wants You!

[WISPA] Whitespace Equipment
All, What is the current status of whitespace gear availability? I'm ramping up my WISP efforts here in SoCal and am looking at a combination of TVWS and 3650 for back haul/aggregation. I know who the 3650 players are, and the licensing process etc. Still working on negotiating access to the protected zones. Who should I be talking to about TVWS gear? WISPA Wants You!
