Claudville, Virginia, which had no access to broadband before, and
which is designed to showcase the benefits of this free spectrum."
What a bunch of politically motivated/self-serving hooey.
Are you telling me that out in a rural Virginia town, they could not
find a slice of spectrum in the 2 - 66 GHz range that IEEE 802.16
can use? They had to use TV frequencies for this MMDS?
Typical hooey from Bert.
There are significant differences in the propagation characteristics
for the UHF band and the bands that lie above 1 GHz. This network
offers far more than a point-to-point link to one school.
