“Engineers from and some of its top tech suppliers have been huddling in a small room at the carrier’s test facility in Irving, Texas, for the past few weeks staring at results pouring in on their laptops. At stake is one of Verizon’s big bets to alleviate a coming spectrum crunch that could slow its wireless network in many parts of the country.

After opting out of last year’s federal airwave auction in the 600 MHz band, Verizon is looking for other ways to offer customers more bandwidth. The Irving test is focused on a new segment of airwaves being opened to the wireless market in the 3.5 GHz band and known as Citizens Broadband Radio Service, or CBRS for short…”

Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.

When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson

"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown

3.5 mhz will work fine for small cell applications....but not for true macro sites....and let's see it burn through any type of tree...shrubbery ....paper Roll Eyes

All the carriers are going great guns to small cells to better their use their reuse patterns while supplying the bandwidth needed. While easier to build they are very much a hassle when it comes to permitting etc.

Most of the high-speed cellular data bands are between 1.5-3 GHz. I doubt 3.5 GHz would perform that differently.

Minor nit: GHz not mhz.

3.5 GHz NLOS has been well studied for (non-USA) WiMax use, with a ton of academic papers out there, some with real life measurements in urban, suburban, rural and forested environments. You may find that this wavelength does better than expected in an urban environment since we don't all live in totally enclosed screen-rooms. There's a small window, door, hole or slot someplace.

That said, as you get higher and higher into the GHz range, the radio waves do tend to act more like a flashlight as opposed to what most people think of as radio.

As for the Navy's use of these bands. I have no idea how this would impact the Navy. They ain't just boats and ships these days. I would tend to tell VZ to fuck off until the Navy gives a solid OK.
