Longmont, CO | Well Stewy that would again be up to the provider. They could have prospective customers purchase the antenna and transceiver equipment themselves, or they could sell a package deal that would include all the equipment, installation, and internet service for a higher monthly fee. The cheapest way would be for all to purchase their own equipment and do the installation themselves then only pay for the access to the system. This I understand would be a great task for most to accomplish, so I would bet they would roll out the package deal. And this way if there are any problems with the installation, the provider will take care of it. |

There in lies the question how long before the equipment
comes online.
In Amateur Radio we use these SHF frequencies as links between other radio devices, either as control links to a repeater or links between repeaters. This, I think, would be the best use in an open area for these frequencies. You would have a link transmission between two fixed positions
and then the data link would be distributed by what ever means is best for that location, wired or wireless. I haven't seen what the power levels are but with a high
gain antenna the range should be fairly good. With modern
manufacturing methods the entire transceiver can be put into a single IC, or a single circuit board. I know one thing you sure wouldn't want a BPL system in the area radiating a 5 ghz field. I wouldn't want the interference from such a system sitting in the foot print of a high gain antenna in a point to point system. With careful frequency coordination and intelligent distribution this would work. I can see a small module with a high gain antenna mounted on one side, a battery pack and a solar panel. The links below show some of the types of antennas which can be used. Notice how small they are. It would be very easy to place these devices on existing cell sites.
This all seems to good to be true, has the FCC finally done something right?
