-Sensors
-DMS
-Cameras, IP video
- VOIP to field personnel
- construction monitoring
- infrastructure monitoring
- any other ITS requiring comm
-higher bandwidth backhaul for local DSRC

DOTS looking into it
SCDOT
PENN DOT
AZ DOT
NY DOT
FL DOT

Long range, potential NLOS capabilities
high quality of service that lends itself to applciaitons such as video. Scheduled Downlink/uplinks and not CSMA

Mobile WiMAX, vehicle to roadside
-vehicle to vehicle comme through a base station
-VII applications, Weather sensing using information from individual vehicles

Coexistence issues between DSRC and WiMAX
potentially similar spectrum
QOS for multimedia delivery

Deployment scenarios for a DOT
-camera specific / ITS designs
License requirements
-4.9 usage for public safety
