900 IS available for unlicensed broadband use in the good ole USA (I should
know I live here and I also work for a WISP, check out
www.trangobroadband.com and search for M900S products also
www.alvarion-usa.com and search for the breezeaccess 900 units, there are
many others like Waverider (been around for quit a while with there 900
products. Do a search for 900 MHz you will find many products that will do
you very well through trees, lets put it this way if it doesn't work through
those trees, your hosed. That last response would be the one that was less
then accurate info. To take it a little further there are sub frequencies
within these freq. that are unlicensed, I believe the 900 sub freq,
available are 902-928 Mhz, I know the Alvarion product uses between 903-927
Mhz and is freq hopping.
Hope this helps.
