Eric, one key factor to consider is attenuation. And rain fade is part of this.
If you are right that there are 5000 Access Points in CBD ( assuming
they are all indoor units and are compliant with indoor power levels
thus do not have the capacity to affect others ) thats different. ODU
APs cannot be legal without specific channel allocation or range
restrictions by CCK . If CCK is not following laid down guidelines so
as to protect any abuse in the market. Then why should Network
Operators/ISPs be subject to licensing and pay heavy fees for
frequencies or equipment while anyone can deploy an ODU? Clearly, has
CCK failed but am I'm sure there is procedure on this. What a mess our
regulator is going to leave us in? At one time DOD was on ISM so no
one could use it, now anyone can deploy high power ODUs without any
compliance?
In short if you are a network planner or designer, you want to go with
long term solutions. I'd still partner with any ISP/Network operator
if I was doing a commercial project because domestic solutions will
come back to bite. That's the best advice I can offer. :-)
