Possibly very good news for me. If only there were a fast forward for this kind of process. I could use that 25 watts of power right now if the license and equipment were anywhere near reasonably priced.
Well, there may actually be some hope for WiMax last mile service. The FCC just opened the 3650 to 3700MHz band for WISP (wireless ISP) service. No clue when the rules will be nailed down or when they'll be accepting license applications:
The current Alvarion Breezemax hardware works close to the new US frequencies as sold in Europe. See data sheet at:
Base Station: Band a: UL: 3399.5-3453.5MHz; DL: 3499.5-3553.5MHz Band b: UL: 3450.0-3500.0MHz. DL: 3550.0-3600.0MHz
Client Radio: UL:3399.5-3500.0MHz DL: 3499.5-3600.0MHz
Should be easy enough to move in frequency. Forget about cheap with Alvarion.
Incidentally, someone is sure to wonder if it was a ham band. Nope. The ham band is 3300 to 3500MHz.
