  1. Re:Max Range? on Broadband from World's Tallest Building · · Score: 1

    Max Range is set in each market by the FCC and it deals or pretains to adjecent MMDS based systems, But I can tell you this. The MAX Range allowed for 2 way, MMDS Based services is 35miles, and Sprint and other companies tend to like to stay under 33 miles via the GPS equiptment they use to verify location this equiptment shows a variance of +_-20 feet at times but in reality the Government and Military control the GPS Satelites and can cause it to vary by up to 1 mile if needed or deemed necessary for military operations, so , to avoid the $10,000 dollar fine for having a customer outside of the RSA of a specific system they clip it down to around 33 miles. Additionally, at distances beyond 20 miles a High Gain(Grill) antenna is required to ensure sufficient signal and return path. Hope this gives you the insight you were looking for. Enough said

    The Transciver, Made by California Ampflier, www.calamp.com houses both the send and recieve equiptment inside of it, this is know as a 17db antenna and are used at distances of less then 20 miles, beyond 20 miles you goto a higher signal gain and more focused antenna that is composed of 3 primary parts, the Grill, the Dipole and the Converter block. The dipole mounts in the center of the grill and attaches via a RG8/U cable with low loss connection to the Converter block which inturn has a F connector on the other side for attachment of RG6/U coax. Latency can be ugly at times and does tend to run a bit higher then copper line times, In all Honesty, This product is great for downloading, some minor uploading, but is not or wasnt intended for fast reaction gaming, I know several Techs who install MMDS based internet who are Big Rogue Spear/ Rainbow Six players and they all have either DSL or Cable to the more stable pings and consistancy, which is a huge factor if you are in CQC or any other fast paced reactionary situation. Take what I say for what its worth, enough said.

    Distances per FCC And the antenna mfgrs state that a mininum distance of 22 inches for a 17dbi antenna is required for safety, and a distance of approximately 30 inches for a 24dbi antenna are required. It has been my experience to avoid any unnecessary RF into the body as it tends not to like it very well, ask the motor cycle cop in Hawaii who lost a leg and a testicle to Cancer from his old fashion Radar Gun. enough said.

    I have installed this service in several cities and Line of Sight for DATA services is honestly Line of Sight, but the twist is its not your Line of sight, but the Antenna's...The Antenna has to be able to see Sears tower and the transmitters basically unobstructed, otherwise your limited power output return to the tower will never make it and you will not get your next request or have a high packet loss resulting in slow speeds.
