After rereading Mike's post I realized I was mistaken and apologized to
the list.

What do you mean? I have been talking to him for two months about this.
Where did you get that this is an ad? I asked him to post this message
to get a feel for how WISPs would respond. He even sent it to me for
review prior to sending it out here. I guess I am having trouble
understanding why this would be considered an ad. They are looking for
support for a declaratory ruling from the FCC on this matter. Mike would
like to see WISPA help him on this and I think we should at least
consider this.

Subject: [WISPA] The Next Big Thing in Wireless
Guys,
As we wireless operators know, the costs of licensed networks
(equipment, antennas and licensing) makes providing services to the
majority of subscribers prohibitively expensive, and the cost at
auction
for spectrum (for WiMax and 4G products) is beyond the reach of most
of
us.
To overcome these problems, two years ago Wireless Strategies began
research into ways to use new technologies -- WiMAX and smart
antennas
-- to reuse side lobe radiation around sites of point-to-point 4GHz
and
6GHz microwave links under the present FCC rules and without causing
additional interference.
Our finding is that networks can be designed to operate with smart
antennas with distributed radiators and that the new paths can be
concurrently coordinated, under existing FCC rules and without
causing
additional interference.
We believe that concurrent coordination will be "The Next Big Thing
in
Wireless," leveling the playing field by making it possible for
WISPs to
obtain multipurpose licensed spectrum at pennies on the dollar
compared
to obtaining it at auction. By making use of the formerly wasted
side
lobe radiation of 4GHz and 6GHz paths, WISPs will be able to use
IEEE
802.16-based (WiMAX) equipment with small antennas to provide
licensed
broadband services to hundreds of additional subscribers at a
provisioning cost of only about $500 per link. We appreciate that
some
members of the industry may initially perceive any change to the
status
quo as a threat, but we believe that concurrent coordination will
provide extraordinary benefits to the entire industry, especially
WISPs.
Due to the potential for unprecedented industry-wide changes from
the
use of antennas with distributed radiators to provide multiple-path
low-cost broadband services under the existing FCC rules, Wireless
Strategies decided to remove any uncertainty for investors and
service
providers by, on February 23, 2007, filing with the Federal
Communications Commission, a Request for a Declaratory Ruling on
Compliance of Fixed Microwave Antennas Having Distributed Radiating
Elements.
However, to date, the FCC has taken no action. We believe that
emails of
support from the WISP community can help speed up the process, by
encouraging the FCC to either issue the requested declaratory ruling
or
to issue a Public Notice for industry comment.
Therefore, if you would like a copy of our FCC filing and/or
information
about the new concept of concurrent coordination, please contact me
at
Wireless Strategies 831-659-5618 or [EMAIL PROTECTED] For

Thanks,
Mike
