Does your existing 3.65 equipment take advantage of the higher power limits
now allowed in this band?

Subject: [WISPA] 3.65 radio wish list
I thought it might be interesting for all involved to discuss what we as
WISPs are looking for in 3.65 radios. As I see it, we can expect to either
get radios that are much the same as we currently have, but operate in a
different spectrum or something different that makes best use of this
unique spectrum.
In our case, we have had an experimental 3.65 license for some time and
had a chance to understand the propagation properties of the spectrum and
how it relates to the existing spectrum we have access to. In our markets,
trees are a huge factor limiting our LOS coverage. Unfortunately, we found
that 3.65 doesn't get us much help when it comes to NLOS through foliage.
We did however find that NLOS through buildings worked significantly
better than with 5.8. This can be a combination of factors that I might
not fully understand, but nevertheless these findings make us very
interested in an urban NLOS 3.65 radio.
What I would like to see is for a radio vendor to provide a PtMP system
that operates in 3.65 and has CPE radios designed for indoor NLOS
deployment. I already have a solution for outdoor urban use. And, through
the use of equipment like what is offered by Orthogon we have the ability
to deploy indoor NLOS using 5.8, but it is expense and less than ideal.
If any vendors are looking along these lines let me know. As I stated
previously, we have a 3.65 experimental license that we could beta test
the equipment with. Additionally, we are planning a large 3.65 deployment
throughout our markets as soon as equipment becomes available, so we can
commit to large qualities of radios.
