Actually it does not divide up that way. Yuo can put many more then the
divided badwidth on. The systems Bluetruck uses are 3 megabit. They figure
it will support 20-30 users. Obviously not everyone is using the full
burst bandwidth at all times. You can go with higher data rate systems at
more cost. The bands are in the 2.5 and 5 Ghz regions and of course are
line of site but there are papers on near line of sight use.
Center city Philly already has a wireless system up and running. That is
not to say that there cannot be others. This stuff plays fairly well
together. There are multiple frequencies and spreading patterns that can
be used.
