Please figure out what the FCC\DoD\NTIA want for DFS and implement it.

[WISP] BIG NEWS: path cleared to 5.4GHz
As I said multiple times last fall, February would be the month. Finally,
hurdles have been jumped to open up 5.4GHz. Now industry just has to adopt
the solution. Hopefully it will be something that is merely a software
overlay and will not require new hardware.

WASHINGTON-The Bush administration today confirmed an agreement among
military, high-tech and wireless firms on criteria for certifying new 5 GHz
Wi-Fi devices capable of avoiding harmful interference to military radar.RCR Wireless News first reported the accord Monday.
The 5 GHz Wi-Fi pact, the result of trial-and-error testing in recent years,
outlines testing and manufacturing guidelines for new 5 GHz Wi-Fi products.
The offerings are expected to hit the market later this year.
An advisory committee that worked on 5 GHz Wi-Fi radar protection is
expected to submit recommendations to the Federal Communications Commission
soon. The FCC then likely will issue a public notice or initiate a
rulemaking to write the 5 GHz Wi-Fi pact into rules.Industry, military and government officials have been working on a 5 GHz
Wi-Fi fix for the past three years, following the National
Telecommunications and Information Administration’s announcement in January
2003 that it had a deal with the Department of Defense to designate hundreds
of megahertz for Wi-Fi and at the same time protect disruptions to military
radar. The U.S. government then secured international support to expand
Wi-Fi at 5 GHz at the 2003 World Radiocommunication Conference.NTIA, an arm of the Commerce Department, heaped praise on the DOD for
helping to end the long delay in opening up an additional 255 megahertz at 5
GHz for Wi-Fi access.“The credit for today’s outcome is overwhelmingly due to the U.S.
Department of Defense’s technical tenacity and dedication to task,” NTIA
said. “DoD has once again proved its ability to achieve an outcome that
supports both economic security as well as national security. The technical
coordination between DoD and private-sector innovators will serve as a model
for overcoming spectrum access challenges for years to come.”
