I'd also add, I'm not certain everyone wants the antenna beamwidth
requirements waived on these protected bands.
I HIGHLY support NOT lowering the antenna size requirement for 11Ghz, as
anything smaller than its at today, just compromises long haul backhaul
applications, in which WISPs do not have many option for long haul. At 8-10
miles, a couple extra Degrees of beamwidth is capable of interfering with a
much wide length of area in the city effected. Although, I'd like to see
6Ghz lowered to 4 ft dishes. There isn't a landlord in their right mind
that would allow a 6 ft antenna installed on their roof.
Or maybe a nicely designed 3 ft model, possibly acceptable.
Not that I'm not for concurrent coordination.

But what about the 36 / 38 dBi antenna rule for 4 & 6 GHz? The SIA is
all over Fibertower's 2' request in 11 GHz...imagine 4 GHz, which could
knock out a lot of C-band downlinks (now, not being a satellite expert,
I'm not sure of the current usage of this channel, but being that the
SIA has tons of $$$$, I'm sure they'll raise up a storm)
That said, I think you need to get the antenna beamwidth requirements
waives / relaxed first...even if concurrent coordination passes, I don't
think anyone will want to be installing 6' dishes on people's houses...

Charles,
The request for a declaratory ruling applies to all frequency bands. The
bands of immediate interest are 3.7 to 4.2GHz and 5.9 to 6.4GHz (an easy
freq change for WiMax, 3.5GHz to 4GHz band and 5.8GHz to 6GHz band)where
the subordinated link antenna sizes drop from 8ft and 6ft to as low as
1ft flat panel.

Wouldn't you be better off lowering antenna size requirement for the 3.7
GHz band first?
No one (specifically WiMAX) is going to make anything cheap for 18 or 23
GHz

Subject: [WISPA] FCC Public Notice
Last week the FCC1 issued a Public Notice seeking comments on Wireless
Strategies request for a declaratory ruling regarding (concurrent)
coordination of microwave links under Part 101 of the Commission's
rules.
The amount of microwave spectrum is finite and it is in everyone's
interest to seek ways to increase the effective use the existing
spectrum. Unfortunately, there may be those who have a vested interest
in maintaining the status quo and who will attempt to stifle innovation.
Innovation is one of the few ways that small companies can compete with
large established companies and that is why we believe this is a one
time opportunity for WISPs to join the big league as regards the ability
to obtain licensed spectrum which can support low cost 802.16-based
(WiMax) equipment with small antenna elements to provide licensed
backhaul and broadband services to hundreds of additional subscribers,
through frequency reuse without causing any additional harmful
interference.
It would be a great help if WISPA as a group and individual WISPs file
comments in support of the request for a declaratory ruling, especially
as there is everything to gain and nothing to lose.
The Comment deadline is July 19, 2007. Comments can be filed via the
FCC's ECFS or by regular mail. Details are on the FCC's web site.
Thanks in advance,
Mike
