I want a list of several (>15) Web sites that provide the following
information on the new 4.9 GHz broadband Technology (Tweaked 802.11)
for Public Safety.
?Information/status about manufactures that are in the early stage of
developing products for this 4.9 GHz technology.
?White papers describing applications for 4.9 GHz Broadband technology.
?Discussions of the current status of rules and specifications.
Description of 4.9 GHz technology:
The FCC has allocated a significant amount of spectrum at 4.9 GHz for
just this type of implementation. There are public safety groups
working closely with the manufacturing community, federal interests,
and standards bodies to create a ?tweaked? 802.11 series standard that
includes all of the functionality of Wi-Fi, but operating at a
frequency that is exclusive to public safety.
The potentials are enormous. Public safety technology usually takes a
back seat to the exploding commercial market in the wireless world.
This translates to significant cost to public safety because public
safety can not provide a market nearly as large as the commercial
market. In this case, public safety can take advantage of the
development in the commercial market and with very little alteration,
make it work in our own field.
For those of us in the public safety environment, all of those high
tech applications you have heard of and perhaps wished for and have
actually seen in the commercial world, may now be within grasp. Not
only technically, but also financially.
