Also, transmitting 30 miles. Is this an unlicensed frequency?

They have developed on amateur frequencies since the FCC denied them an experimental license.

  So, 5.8GHz or 2.4GHz or 900MHz, or what? Are the 40s (MHz) still available? I wonder how this beats the curvature of the earth, or is it being bounced of the ionosphere, or penetrating through the earth? It is either a lost work of Tesla or a bad version of this Douglas Rushkoff novel... http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1887128905/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=littdidd-20&linkCode=as2&camp=217145&creative=399369&creativeASIN=1887128905 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1887128905/ref=as_li_ss_tl?...

    The are using amateur radio to test their new radios because that is the only license that they (and almost anybody) can get in the United States. He explains this in the video. They didn't want to go to a country more open to testing, so they used what they could in the US. They are using the HF (3–30 MHz), VHF (30–300 MHz) or UHF (300–3,000 MHz) range because that is what the amateur radio license allows. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amateur_radio_licensing_in_the_United_States http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amateur_radio_licensing_in_the_... They are not beating the curvature of the Earth. If their claims are true, they are doing something other than frequency modulation. The electromagnetic signal is not RF so it interacts with large bodies (Earth) differently. There is no way to know if that is true until they demonstrate.

    Amateur, not unlicensed: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amateur_radio_frequency_allocations http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amateur_radio_frequency_allocat... While the 40M band beats the curvature of the earth quite reliably, I would expect that they are doing something in the UHF band if they plan on deploying this in licensed cell-phone frequencies. Also the amateur band lets them transmit at much higher power than the ISM bands: http://edocket.access.gpo.gov/cfr_2010/octqtr/47cfr15.245.htm http://edocket.access.gpo.gov/cfr_2010/octqtr/47cfr15.245.ht...
