Comments by "" (@adamswl969) on "Senhaix N60 - The Best Mobile Network Radio?" video.
Great video as always Lewis. If I were a communications company operating radio networks commercially I would be getting rather worried about now. A huge advantage with these devices is the coverage within city buildings and structures. The network radios work perfectly fine inside underground rail systems and shopping centres where 2G/3G/4G LTE and soon 5G networks are installed. (And free WiFi!!) Spoke with a bicycle courier whose employer has dropped using traditional two ways in favour of network radios, purely because they can keep in touch with staff who may be inside buildings or areas of the CBD where 4G is adequately covered by micro/pico cells. The old two way would become useless in many areas of the city shadowed by high rise. As far as amateur use goes, well the same coverage principle applies, which is a huge advantage. But....no technical challenge, learning or skills required. No experimentation with antennas (what would the point be?) or gaining knowledge from making improvements to your setup to be had. And if most amateurs do migrate to network radios....it will be spectrum auction bonanza time at OFCOM/ACMA/FCC....etc...."What is the opening bid for 10Mhz worth of 70cm?"
