There's a big difference in how they use the available power.
WISP-type equipment generally uses very directional antennas so the available power is used more efficiently.
A laptop and a home WiFi router are like people talking in a crowded room. Long-range systems are like talking into a unpowered megaphone while the other side is listening with a megaphone on its ear.
- guelo 11y agoIf what the carriers are talking about is highly directional links for backhaul then I don't see what the fear is. Directional is not going to interfere with nearby WiFi.
- dboreham 11y agoThey're talking about handset to base station, split band -- using licensed frequencies for downlink and unlicensed for uplink. So, not backhaul.
