Based on TV antenna, it looks like the largest gain CPE will be around 10 dB for all but the lowest of frequencies.
I just ran a Radio Mobile coverage area using a guesstimate at a white spaces system... EIRP of 20 dBm, 16 dBi sector, 10 dBi CPE, -80 dBm minimum allowed receive. The range wasn't much more than 2 miles in flat country land. With those same measurements with a 36 dBm EIRP, we have 10 miles, but terrain comes more into play here. For the extreme rural areas, this is where tower height comes into play. For everyone else, this is your foliage beater. In these areas we still need small cells for bandwidth capacity and interference rejection. Remember, the only signal levels mentioned were 40 mw for personal portable devices. Anything else is just speculation at this point. They may very well give fixed stations 4 W as they do in all other unlicensed bands. ---------- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WISPA Wants You!
