Wimax in DL (Re: Is Wi-Fi Headed toward an Early Grave?)
Dear Graham and all, Germany is about to sell the licenses to the new WiMax wireless network for highspeed internet access.
- Frequencies 3400 to 3600 MHz - Typical basestation coverage 2-3 km in cities, up to 50 km under ideal conditions - Power 30W Eirp = 45dBm - Daterate up to 75 MBit/s
Don't know if this (should) affect the Eagle S2 transponder plans, as I expect this technology to spread worldwide fast.. maybe we should not give up 2.4 GHz so quickly.

The WiMax standard shows frequencies available in the 2.15-2.69 GHz and 5.25 to 5.85 GHz ranges for deployment in the U.S and frequencies in the 3.4-4.2, 5.15-5.725 and 10-10.68 GHz ranges for deployment in Europe.
