Abstract
Establishment of a Terrain Independent Communication using—The HF band (3-30 MHz) and VHF (30 to 300 MHz) frequency spectrums that is provided for use as shared spectrum by the FCC. Different segments within the spectrum are in use today by emergency and utility companies in an intermittent fashion. The utilization of the shared spectrum as of date is very low (typically below 20%). The invention seeks to identify optimum, and less frequented frequency ranges within the spectrum to establish terrain independent connectivity between base stations and end points up to 1200-mile radius. This connection is used to provide terrain independent communication for data communication for point to point and point to multi-point applications. Typically, this connection is used for short bust automatic data acquisition applications, such as sensor monitoring, and other communication applications.
