The bandwidth of the radio frequency channel is the major factor that determines the performance capabilities for data transmission and reception and not the actual radio frequency of the radio channel.
There is no difference in the amount of data, or the data speeds that can be transmitted in the same amount of radio frequency bandwidth, regardless of the radio frequency band. Transmitting more data at higher data rates requires greater radio frequency bandwidth. Realistically, some innovative techniques would need to be used. Three 1 MHz segments, even in similar, if not contiguous spectrum would be infinitely usable. Friendly Regards, Mike Mike Gilchrist Disruptive Technologist Advanced Wireless Express P.O.

What channel width are you going to need to have a usable system. I mean in the VHF band of 54 Mhz to 88 Mhz the frequency is to slow to have any ability to clock the data through at any worth wile speed. We are supposed to be giving customers more bandwidth and faster service. Yes it would cut through trees and I would love it. But at 2-3X dialup speed? The upper bands are definitely better but then you lower your penetration (>800 Mhz). Someone enlighten me here.

Thanks. Give me equipment capable of 20 watts, circularly polarized sectors, a turnstile antenna on the CPE, and it would be a perfect fit for THIS rural market. At that power level, and circular polarization, I could reuse any channel on the same tower using opposite circular sense. I know some of the discussion in the past on this list led some to believe an antenna would look like a big TV log periodic, but it just isn't so. A TV antenna is by necessity a broadband device, and as such is BIG to handle a RANGE of frequencies. A turnstile or other narrow band antenna could be built to blend with the aesthetics of a home or business. Heck, if this comes to pass, I may go into the antenna building business just for this usage. Friendly Regards, Mike Mike Gilchrist Disruptive Technologist Advanced Wireless Express P.O.

Next question. I don't know any of the team personally just from your posts. The picture in the report, can you give us a who's who left to right. Steve Barnes RC-WiFi Wireless Internet Service -----Original Message----- From: wireless-boun...@wispa.org [mailto:wireless-boun...@wispa.org] On Behalf Of Jack Unger Sent: Saturday, April 03, 2010 7:17 PM To: memb...@wispa.org; WISPA General List Subject: [WISPA] WISPA TV Whitespaces Meeting with the FCC Last Wednesday, March 31, the WISPA FCC Committee assisted by the WISPA Promotions Committee met with top managers of the FCC Office of Engineering and Technology (OET) at FCC Headquarters in Washington D.C. to discuss the status of WISPA's TV Whitespaces filings. The following Members represented WISPA. Ryan Spott, Alex Phillips, John Scriver, and Jack Unger. The WISPA Team was assisted by Steve Coran of Rini/Coran LLC in Washington. All Team Members made valuable contributions to the effort and we all feel that the meeting went well. Our goal was to ask the FCC take favorable action soon on WISPA's Petitions to adjust the TV Whitespace rules by making corrections to several problem areas, thereby making WISP use of the Whitespaces more practical and more successful. I'm attaching a more detailed report (.doc file) and also the official written filing (PDF) that WISPA is required to make after every meeting with the FCC. A copy of our FCC PowerPoint presentation is also required to be part of our written filing. To easily view our presentation, please rotate the attached PDF clockwise 90 degrees in your Adobe Reader viewer. Your questions and constructive suggestions are always welcome.
