Re: Great for Chicago

Tried the same thing in Miami Beach. They city and the installers do not want to hear about this. they all think they can just put it up and turn the power up (1 watt tropos) and they will have no interference because they will "outpower all other providers". Anyone with RF understanding, especially at low power unlicensed frequencies, understands that noise is already a problem in the metro areas (ours is clogged on 900, 2.4, 5.3 and 5.8) and that adding more power is just more noise for EVERYBODY. You would think the city would hire an RF engineering expert....I guess not.

And what the unsuspecting p[roponents of these networks dont get is that it will not work as intended. Sure Chaska Minn might work, but LA, NY, Miami, Chicago etc will just make current the wisps (including themselves) go out of business becuase of unreliable service.

I feel a big "I told you so" coming very soon for these projects and elected officals behind them.
