speaking of Boston...there was a microwave vendor from there who was one of the first to offer a 23 GHz 10Mbps Ethernet point to point solution. MetroLink or something like that...I met them a Novell show in Dallas..guy was full of himself....at same show I met WiLANs Hatim Z??? demoing a 20MBps 900 Mhz prototype radio,....This guy and his partner developed WOFDM and MCDSSS technologies and I believe still get royalties... I have 900, 2.4 and 5 GHz WiLAN gear in Batcave....great jam...cough, I meant spectrum analyzer calibration tools.
