Re: No..

I was thinking the same thing. However, I am no engineer and not that knowledgeable.

I was thinking..... Lots of channels are not in use in rural America. This is a waste of space. This system in some areas could see 20 mhz or more free for use, if not more.

Also, these devices could be "told" not to use a certain frequency by the tower supplying the signal to the CPE.

Lots and lots of ways to use this unused bandwidth in rural America where it's needed most. A dozen channels are not in use here in Iowa. Can you imagine rural Montana or rural northern Canada. ( I know )

It has alot more promise then BPL. I hope the Hams jump on this and help work out the solutions, so BPL will finally die.

This has promise!

Actually, there's a lot of white space even in the big cities. For example, almost a third if the UHF spectrum in Los Angeles will be white space. Similar space exists in every other city, including New York.

What's interesting about this study is it shows that smart radios can pick up signals well enough that the Defense Dept. has signed off on their use in the military 5.8 gHz band for sharing.
