Hi Frank, >>characterize the availability of 802.16 comparing the US and Europe? << U.S. 3.5 GHz - only 50 MHz at 3650-3700 MHz is available under non-exclusive license basis requiring a Contention-Based Protocol, and low out-of-band emissions (C-band satellite downlinks are at 3700-4200 MHz). 802.16 has no Contention-Based Protocol yet, but 802.16h is working on changes for non-exclusively licensed spectrum. Europe 3.5 GHz ~ 200 MHz is available at 3400-3600 MHz is available in 50 MHz chunks that are exclusively licensed. U.S. 2.5 GHz ~170 MHz at 2500-2671 MHz is available, mostly held by Sprint/Nextel and Clearwire. Europe 2.5 GHz I don't know about that. U.S. 2.3 GHz ~30 MHz is available as paired 5 MHz channels with different power limits. Exclusively licensed. wireless.fcc.gov Not enough bandwidth or power to have be effective. Korea 2.3 GHz is the WiBro band itu.int Handsets from Samsung and LG are available pdalive.com petere
