XM is a hybrid satellite/terrestrial system. They cover a good deal of
Los Angeles with a 10 KW transmitter on Mt. Harvard. It gets indoors
surprisingly well.


Given that my 100mw wifi system which also operates in S band can barely
penetrate 2 walls in my house I find that rather surprising but I'll take
your word for it.


L-Band DAB would use kiloWatt power as well as 1,7 MHz channels.
Standard 2,4 GHz Wi-Fi would use rather wider channels.
