RE: [WISPA] Re: 70/80/90 GHz licensed, 60 GHz license-exempt
Anybody know what the Ofcom rules are in the UK for similar? -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Steve Stroh Sent: 28 December 2005 14:30 To: WISPA General List Subject: [WISPA] Re: 70/80/90 GHz licensed, 60 GHz license-exempt In the US, 70, 80, and 90 GHz are "licensed lite"; you do have to register them. Apologies for envisioning the delicious irony of the database being swamped with trying to track and coordinate 300' links. Not to mention that, if memory serves, there's a fee to register each one of those links. 57-64 GHz, on the other hand, is license-exempt.

Re: [WISPA] Re: 70/80/90 GHz licensed, 60 GHz license-exempt
Good points. I agree that 60 Ghz is also a nice band for doing this and the same millimeter-wave CMOS chipsets should work equally well in that band just as well. I am thinking that if we see the newer low cost CMOS radios that we will see bulk arrangements made for "license-lite" database registration and some sanity in the process. Maybe I am just too optimistic. When enough money is at stake though I really think the wheels of progress will get some grease. Good to hear from you, Steve. What is new with you? I bet everyone would like to hear what you have been doing lately. It has been a while.

This gives us a platform for broadband, telephone and cable television all over wireless. This is not a pipe dream. I am about 2 weeks from having my first pole agreement signed. It is going to happen. The 70 Ghz gear is not going to be a long haul solution. It is going to be a real nice high throughput short haul solution to compete for triple play in cities and even smaller towns eventually. I plan to help prove this as a viable broadband platform in my own community. Now I just wish my friends at Intel would hurry up the development of those CMOS radios! They have all the patents and prototypes today.
