Kodak “ETSI” Proposal Jim Zyren, Intersil
Issues • Committee for Unlicensed Broadband Enablement • CUBE indicates flexibility on hop rate issue (10/19/99) • CUBE explicitly opposes adoption of ETSI rules for non-overlapping channels (2/23/00) • Is it Kodak’s intention that ETSI rules would apply to FHSS systems only, or both FHSS and DSSS • seems to be different interpretations of Kodak submission • can Kodak clarify?
