Google is building a 100kW radio transmitter at a spaceport and no one knows why
- gct 11y agoERP is the effective power in the mainlobe, so an omni antenna and a highly direction one with the same ERP will sound as loud to their intended listener. Those frequencies are used for terrestrial microwave backhauls. They're almost certainly working on a system to connect disparate fiber networks via microwave. Higher power means lower bit error rate after all.

- ratfacemcgee 11y agowell obviously its for "phase 2"... (http://www.theonion.com/article/starbucks-to-begin-sinister-phase-two-of-operation-416 http://www.theonion.com/article/starbucks-to-begin-sinister-...)
- walrus01 11y agoThis is a typo or copy paste error. Based on the 52dbw EIRP it is a standard FCC compliant 80 GHz FDD radio system (same family as bridgewave, e-band, siklu, SIAE). Actual electrical power consumed at the wall is probably <40W.
