Re: Are you FCC Legal
sure, all our WISP sites are on geographic PCS licenses. we could pump 500 watts if we wanted. but we put them in to make the license "legally" on the air adn never sell service on them. we then sell the license to Verizon or Cingular and abandon the equipment as it is not worth retrieving unless we have another site lined up for it. sad thing is, each site costs about 60k but by the time teh license sells, the equipment is not worth much more than 8k. and it would cost that much to go all the way back to colorado or utah to pick it up. we pulled in all the AR sites when they sold, since they were only 5 or 6 hours away at most, but the rest were just abandoned.

| our stuff is Airspan. we had one link in Peublo that worked at 15 miles! it is line of sight, but still it was 15 miles on an omni antenna on the tower to a panel antenna on a pipe 8 ft off the ground. of course, the omni was 500 ft up, fed by 1 5/8 line and we were pumping 5 watts in at the bottom.
we are even thinking of putting one of these units on the air at our shop, just so a couple of us can get high speed at home.
