Re:Max Range? (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
