Re: [WISPA] 2nd Look @ 3.65 ?

[Travis Johnson]

Hi, We have BridgeMaxx in our area. They are using 2.5ghz licensed with Alvarion WiMax equipment. This is the "top of the line", $50k per sector type stuff. Then I can also tell you that we are seeing a LOT of antennas that have to be mounted outdoors, on a tripod with a 10ft pole to get over the trees. The NLOS doesn't seem to be working very well, especially on several of these the tower is less than a mile away. So they spent $250k per tower x 4 towers in our area and they are still having to roll a truck and do an outdoor install. And this is even with 2.5ghz licensed. It makes me happy to see one of their antennas mounted outdoors... that's means they lost even more money for that install... :) Travis Microserv John Rock wrote: Matt, I have pictures to show you...

But because 3.65 with diversity is supposed to deliver NLOS performance similar to or better than 900 MHz, you can see customers you wouldn't otherwise see. I can tell you for a fact that even with uplink subchannelization, diversity, and all of WiMAX's OFDM subcarriers, 3.65 does not deliver NLOS performance similar to or better than 900Mhz. Throw all the technology you want at it and 3.65 is still not going to get through much foliage. NLOS performance in an urban environment on the other hand is great. -Matt ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- WISPA Wants You!
