R&O is Ultra-Conservative
Says FCC
R&O is described as a cautious first
step by the Commission
One commissioner describes the R&O
limits as ultra-conservative and
intentionally at the extreme end of what
FCC engineers believe necessary.

Multipath Performance
Ultra-wide bandwidth provides robust performance in
multipath environments
Less severe signal fading due to multipath propagation means fade
margin of only a few dB
Extremely short pulses enable resolution and constructive use of
multipath energy using RAKE receiver techniques
