I do not know what you are asking. Marlon and I were debating what type
of system we should try to get the FCC to allow us to use as a test bed
system for experimentation with unused television channel space as a
platform for broadband delivery. I think we are all talking about the
same thing here but I am not sure what you are asking.

if you want to test tv-band spectrum penetration in rural areas --

I'm sure there's a lot of us who operate in areas that qualify for
this kind of signal obstruction.
what do you mean by wispa officially supports?

I would think a better approach would be to work with Intel or
another company who is already building prototypes to get a test
system built and have WISPs become the operations portion of a test
for this type of technology. A converted WiFi unit will not have any
of the existing GPS or sniffing capabilities required in the NPRM. If
we are going to become part of the solution then we need to have
something capable of doing what is being asked in the NPRM.

Hi All,

Looks like we're still TWO years away from being able to use the
white spaces. In a month we'll see the first draft rules from the FCC.
It looks like what they want to do is to get some testing data. I'd
like to propose to them that we be allowed to build a few test
systems using 2.4 ghz to tv band converters. Similar to the 2.4 to
900mhz converters.
I think it's important to have the support of WISPA on this,
officially.
Thoughts?
