Bonding will probably not be much use because the odds of having adjacent TVWS channels available in the same market are going to be slim. What would probably work though is a full duplex arrangement where you could deal with the available channels not being adjacent.

Channel 2 will move as much data as channel 50. TVBD will have limited use if you can't bond at least 3 channels together, closer to 6. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com -------------------------------------------------- From: "Steve Barnes" <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, April 05, 2010 8:55 AM To: "WISPA General List" <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [WISPA] WISPA TV Whitespaces Meeting with the FCC > Mike, though I agree that circular polarization could work.
