Having that many GHz of spectrum would be nice. However, I would expect it to be limited to industrial parks or anywhere where foliage is not present.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Local_Multipoint_Distribution_Service I would imagine that the cost to develop a new line of technology (or the original 802.16, which was meant for 10 GHz and up) would be quite expensive. Given the small range for that high priced gear, it's probably more cost effective to just bury fiber. Nextlink (XO) is the major LMDS holder in the US. I'm not sure who else has spectrum. I'd look at these sites as well... http://www.lmdswireless.com/index.php https://www.lmdsxchange.com/ ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com -------------------------------------------------- From: "Gino Villarini" <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, February 08, 2009 10:34 AM To: "Motorola Canopy User Group" <[email protected]> Cc: "WISPA General List" <[email protected]> Subject: [WISPA] Thinking out of the box ...
