TIL 3.5GHz is open. Where can I read more about it? It isn't in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISM_radio_band https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISM_radio_band. Is it open worldwide? I'm in Australia (and generally interested in noodling over solutions that are region-agnostic). Edit: Ah TIL about CBRS from another comment (which I replied to, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30490470 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30490470).
And thanks for the headsup about WiMAX, I was wondering what happened to it. The Wikipedia article on it made relatedness noises pointing at LTE, I get the impression it kinda ended up getting used for parts. (It's curious why stuff that seems to attract reasonable investment just doesn't take off, I wouldn't mind learning more, but yeah, idle curiosity.)
- chrispeel 5y agoYeah, when I said 3.5 GHz, I meant CBRS [1], which is a US thing. I do think that other countries will have similarly-open bands, even if they don't match exactly. I.e. bands that you don't need to pay a license to use. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citizens_Broadband_Radio_Service https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citizens_Broadband_Radio_Servi...
