It would be nice to visualize this frequency region of the spectrum, and label the A-F bands. -- Beland (talk) 16:12, 19 May 2017 (UTC)
- I added a diagram that reflects the information on the relevant FCC page - it does not label the bands other than 'H' band. Egmason (talk) 09:07, 10 December 2017 (UTC)
Range
[edit]Does anyone have any information on the typical range for AWS towers? 206.248.175.13 (talk) 22:32, 6 January 2010 (UTC)
Only North America?
[edit]This article claims that AWS is a North-American-only technlogy. The UMTS frequency bands article lists two Chilean carriers using the AWS spectrum. One is clearly incorrect, and I suspect it's this one. --AdamRoach (talk) 20:57, 2 March 2011 (UTC)
List of Devices
[edit]I don't believe it is wise to list the compatible devices for this protocol as the list will by nature be too volatile to keep up with, and it makes no sense to keep a list that by its nature will almost always be incorrect; as new devices come into the market, and old devices fall off the market. Nor is it the responsibility of an encyclopaedia to keep a list of transitory market goods, unless the article is on the goods themselves, and not as in this case, about a communications protocol.Theshowmecanuck (talk) 17:31, 5 October 2011 (UTC)
- I removed the list. There is no practical purpose served by this list.--KJRehberg (talk) 19:42, 6 October 2011 (UTC)
- I understand the removal... But I was "maintaining" it, I'm a bit sad! SalsaForte (talk) 07:33, 13 October 2011 (UTC)
- You can keep it under your User account or make a new article for it like this one: List of AWS devices.--KJRehberg (talk) 19:48, 17 October 2011 (UTC)

Verizon AWS deal
[edit]The Verizon purchase of AWS spectrum from cable companies should be factored into this article by someone who understands the subject better than I do.

External links modified
[edit]Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just added archive links to one external link on Advanced Wireless Services. Please take a moment to review my edit. You may add {{cbignore}}
after the link to keep me from modifying it, if I keep adding bad data, but formatting bugs should be reported instead. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}}
to keep me off the page altogether, but should be used as a last resort. I made the following changes:
- Added archive http://web.archive.org/web/20091222134908/http://www.windmobile.ca:80/support/faq/phones-wind/#question-3 to http://www.windmobile.ca/support/faq/phones-wind/#question-5
When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true or failed to let others know (documentation at {{Sourcecheck}}
).
An editor has reviewed this edit and fixed any errors that were found.

Local Multipoint Distribution Service
[edit]Could someone add a few words describing the relationship between "Advanced Wireless Services", "Local Multipoint Distribution Service" (also called "wireless cable"), and "Multipoint Multichannel Distribution Service" (also also called "wireless cable")?
Are they complementary services that are expected to co-exist for the indefinite future, after perhaps some initial tweaking to take some spectrum from one service and give it to another service?
Or is all new hardware installation one of these services, and all the hardware from the other service is deprecated and expected to be retired as soon as the new hardware is installed? --DavidCary (talk) 14:25, 5 October 2016 (UTC)
Article is badly out of date
[edit]This article only covers AWS-1 (altho it does not say so). As there are now AWS-2, AWS-3, and AWS-4 bands also designated the article needs updating to describe those bands and usages.
Note that AWS-3 is pretty much entirely contained in UTRA Band 66, and it's probably more commonly referred to as B66 from a device perspective. AWS-3 is mostly used when referring to licensing. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:589:102:B920:85E0:8AA4:1C95:E369 (talk) 16:50, 17 February 2017 (UTC)
