With LMDS, if you have line of sight, all you have to do is stick a little (8 in by 8 in ?) antenae in your window. Will P-MP work similar to this without roof antenaes? Steve, how does the math work out "- When P-MP comes on line in 1999, each of the anticipated 8000 P-P buildings they expect to have, will become a "sector", capable of transmitting to an additional 15-20 buildings (at OC3 bandwidth). This translates to a "plant of 12,000 to 16,000 buildings" Something like 30 switches times four hubs per switch times 25 to 50 buildings per hub to get P-P buildings times another 15 to 20 for P-MP? 15 to 20 buildings per 8000 P-P buildings is 120,000 to 160,000 buildings. Typo or math screwed up somewhere? Also, I thought they were only talking one OC-3 per 100 MHz channel. Also that highest P-P wireless link was only one DS-3. If they can only get one DS-3 (or somehow one OS-3) to each P-P building, can they still get this amount to each of the 15 to 20 P-MP buildings? Do you understand how all this works? It's totally over my head.
