802.16d and 802.16e-2005 can actually be applied to ANY band sub-11GHz, it is just that as of now the only existing WiMAX profiles created apply to 5.8GHz and 3.5GHz. Profiles for 802.16e-2005 for 2.3GHz (WCS) and the EBS/BRS (2.5GHz bands) are on the way. Profiles for lower bands will surely come if spectrum allocations exist that will support mass deployment.

I really doubt it, but, I am trying to keep an open mind. When the best we have seen on 900MHz is 3/4 mile through trees.... And I mean trees!!! Not just a property line here and there, but the customer is embedded in trees for 300yds in all directions..... and 2.4GHz and 5.8GHz don't even blip in in winter. -- Tom DeReggi wrote: > Now all Motorola needs to do is make a Wimax Product. > > Or find some hidden Spectrum usable in the US for WiMax. > Or is this Canada that we are talking about? > > Tom DeReggi > RapidDSL & Wireless, Inc > IntAirNet- Fixed Wireless Broadband > > > ----- Original Message ----- From: "Peter R." <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: "WISPA General List" <[email protected]> > Sent: Monday, July 10, 2006 1:52 PM > Subject: [WISPA] more on Clearwire's $900M > > >> http://biz.yahoo.com/fool/060710/115255353914.html?.v=1 >> >> Clearwire has also built a next-generation network infrastructure, >> merging the best features of cellular, cable, DSL and WiFi.
