Dear JA: The rules for exploiting LMDS licences are extremely flexible, and I do not believe any FCC authorization would be required for the use of reflectors. As I understand it, the only constraints are: a) polarization (vertical and horizontal) at the edges of a BTA, b) radiated power at the edges of a BTA (but not between cells inside a BTA), and c) frequency tolerance of LMDS transmitters. Also, while the use of a reflector might impair fade margin for users located at the edges of a cell, for users located closer to the center of the cell, there is enough margin. Users at the edges of a cell can be handled by cell overlap (presumably LOS would be available from at least one transmitter covering the user). Of course, the other option, besides reflectors, is to use microcell repeaters. Thanks for your post. We need more of those, and less name calling, even if CVUS's stock price does not give us too many reasons to be cheerful. Have a good week-end, Bernard Levy
