What is in the future as far as spectrum allocation?
• In the US, there are currently 22/10/5/1 channels with bandwidth 20/40/80/160MHz channels.
• With the opening up of 5.35-5.47 GHz and 5.85-5.925 GHz, the number of channels increases to
34/16/8/3.
• If the industry manages to take back the TDWR channels, the number increases to 37/18/9/4.
So, as time progresses we should see additional channels becoming available.
