So we should limit our public use of the 5ghz spectrum so that others can
use it? How about we use licensed spectrum for fixed wireless services.

Use 2GHz instead of 5GHz for the outdoor WiFi plants?

And how do you propose we solve this?

Wow, it is like they are actively sabotaging us. Sigh...

None of that in this area yet - I'm sure it's only a matter of time
though.

Hello,

Today another colleague and I discovered the famous 'xfinitywifi'
,'CableWIFi', 'CoxWiFi' and a new one 'XFINITY' on our University
campus.
After doing some poking around on campus we found these gems (attached
picture) on 2 utility poles that pass by our east campus. Standing
underneath it I got a -46 RSSI in both 5 and 2.4Ghz, maybe 75-100
yards away
inside our hockey fieldhouse, through lots of brick, cinder blocks and
metal, I was still picking the 2.4Ghz at -64.

Looks like the unit is getting power from the coax.


My question is, I've done a little poking around and have not found
anything substantial to learn more information about this Comcast
program.


Any insight would be nice!
