Re: [WISPA] 5.4 very close now
Rick: I think you're confused with 3.65 GHz (still in the works, FCC proposed contention-based sharing mechanism.) This is an additional 255 MHz of spectrum around 5.4 GHz and IT requires Dynamic Frequency Sharing (I think?) - DFS - basically if the radio hears a US DOD RADAR system, it changes channels to get out of the way. It's low power, but some interesting gear should come out for high-bandwidth, relatively short-range. Mac: It IS available to everyone - we'll see it used for WLANs. Good news is that it may well be enough to encourage WLANs and cordless phones to use that portion of the spectrum instead of 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz.

RE: [WISPA] 5.4 very close now
Rick, The orthogon software upgrade pertaining to the 5.4 gzh band only applies to the Gemini 5.4 capable unit only wich is for the Euro Market, non US based gear has been certified yet for 5.4 ghz From the Orthogon release notes: 1.1 Support for the 5.4GHz Hardware Variant The Orthogon Systems OS-Gemini product range has a new frequency variant to compliment its existing 5.8GHz product range. The new 5.4GHz hardware variant operates between 5.470 to 5.725GHz (defined as the ETSI 5 GHz band B), utilising 11MHz channels widths and variable base 12MHz raster. Gino A.
