Problem with 900 is the lack of spectrum. Most fast equipment uses 10 to 20MHz. In 900 there is only a total of 26MHz. The fastest solution on the market is to use an XR9 card in 5 or 10MHz mode. 5MHz in a MikroTik unit can give you 5-6Mbit effective throughput without Nstream. Canopy is second fastest but uses 8MHz bandwith if memory serves me right. Another problem is the noise pollution in 900 and the best to that problem is hands down canopy.
Don't expect anything blazing fast in 900MHz that will be affordable any time in the near future. /Eje Sent via BlackBerry from T-Mobile -----Original Message----- From: "Adam Goodman" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Thu, 27 Nov 2008 23:31:43 To: WISPA General List<wireless@wispa.org> Subject: Re: [WISPA] NetFlix Streaming Bandwidth Information I oversubscribe 10/1. I try to keep it down to 30-35 subs per AP (mostly 900MHz=3mbps radios). Lets say I have only 2 streaming subs at any given time: 2x 2mbps = 4mbps. plus other regular traffic. The demand is only going to go up with time. Seems to me we need faster 900MHz radios if we want to stay in busines, and if Moto wants to stay in the 900 market.
