Thanks Peppe. Considering that Winstar is pushing hard toward 38Ghz ( they were granted an additional licenses
in December winstar.com
is this an equipment issue or others?
We know that Telgent operates in 24 spectrum,Nextlink 28 and
WinStar 38.
Is such distribution among vendors tighten to availability of licenses or just simply business case?
My understanding is that at 28 GHz, the
LMDS band, carriers have more than 1 GHz to work with and Qos is higher and you can cover higher population.then for example at 24, but not 38.

Any idea why WinStar is pushing 38 where Nextlink 28 (Nexlinki conservatism?)

Thanks in advance

Zbyslaw

I only know one thing about Winstar. My ISP changed ownership a couple of months ago. With the original guys, I had one major glitch in over a year. With the new guys, glitches are constant. I can no longer rely on the connection for business. Every time I call and demand to know what the ****'s up, the answer is, "It's a Winstar problem". Even when it's working, it's not working that good.
