i like how between consumer voip running over internet connections with no qos and highly compressed cellular phone codecs, making phone call in 2015 is worse quality than 1990

higher bitrate codecs ("HD voice") at least are becoming more prevalent but still lol

also the death of landlines leaves many with no form of communication in long periods of electricity being down. the lovely battery backup units on fiber/cable voip lines last 8 hours at best

HD voice / volte / whatever tmo uses is the bomb, first time I made a call with it was like :wth::peanut:

okay you might know this

would i need a license that's not just general to run a 900mhz gsm network in my house?

e: that's right i have a general, not just tech

Jonny 290 posted:

if you're sticking to 902-928 mhz, you can get away with a tech license as you have 1500 watts of basically any modulation

if you're out of that range though, there is no license that you can buy. you'll have to fight with verizon and att in a spectrum auction.

wait so what kind of range are you talking for that kind of power?
