| And 802.11a's spectrum is dumped on...
said by [TelecomWeb :
The thornier problem is that there isn't a lot of junk spectrum out there just waiting to absorb BPL emissions. While Corridor's solution would spare the hams, there are also technologies using or planning to use those 5 GHz bands -- 802.11a for example. While Corridor's technology shows that we at least have some degree of control over where we dump BPL's RF trash, it has to go somewhere. And pretty much anywhere you look, you'll find existing users demanding that it not be dumped in their back yard.
This part was interesting... Hopefully, there won't be court battles between BPL and 802.11a claiming to have the right to use these freqs. After being against the BPL of previous versions, I am looking favorably on the current system being tested. I hope this works! But, I am wondering what the end user's throughput will end up being?
