[Ham-80211] ham-80211 Digest, Vol 17, Issue 1

I've been watching this technology closely. If it actually proves to work,
there is a bunch of old paging channels (in the US they have both a TX and
an RX frequency) that will once again become VERY valuable. If it works this
could be a great technology for hams to deploy on either 2 meters or UHF.
>From what I have gathered there are independent folks outside the
manufacturer testing the system. I can't wait to see those reports. Maybe
broadband can finally reach rural areas affordably..........



Thank You,

Ok kiddies.. read the article.... is it snake oil or the Holy Grail of
telecommunications and RF??

" FORT LAUDERDALE--Communications firm xG Technology yesterday conducted
another wireless line-of-site demonstration of its xMAX solution here,
transmitting a 3.5 MB/s data stream a distance of 18 miles using less than
36 milliwatts of power using 10 MHz of unlicensed spectrum in the ISM 900
MHz band."  >>>>

That's 3.5 mbps using 36mw at 18 miles on 900mhz??
