This paper describes a simple technique using the SCA (Subsidiary Communications Authorization) channel authorized for use in FM and TV broadcasting to provide a one-way digital transmission channel for teletext-type service. The channel is transparent to data format. Preliminary field test results for a 9600 bit/second channel are also presented which show average error rates of less than 1 in 10.

The factors that determine the behaviors of a wireless network are numerous and complicated. In addition to static factors such as the location and operating characteristics of base station equipment, terrain, clutter and building distribution, the system is also sensitive to time‐dependent factors including the locations and behavior of large numbers of both mobile and fixed remote users. There are various techniques one might adopt to predict the behavior of these users.

The design of a rural wireless broadband network presents its own set of challenges that differ in significant ways from network design for urban areas. In addition to covering unserved and underserved locations with sufficient signal as cost effectively as possible, a means of accurately assessing which of these users will be able to successfully subscribe to the network is also critical for effective customer service and retention. This paper will examine the critical pieces of these aspects ...
