What is The 2.5GHz Educational Broadband Service (EBS) Spectrum?

Among the most sought after spectrum currently available in the US (and widely available internationally also) is the 2.5 GHz band. This is very effective for the delivery of point to multi point signal to many users. The spectrum supports robust bandwidth capability and with licensed power allotments and WiMAX technology, it supports NLOS capability and far reduced or eliminated truck roll installations. There are two types of 2.5 GHz licenses. One is broadband radio service (BRS), the commercial version of the license. The second is Educational Broadband Service (EBS) which can only be owned by educational or religious type organizations with a scholastic mission.
