Motorola Canopy?

[Dennis B. Swaney]

Has anyone heard of this wireless system? A local ISP, North Valley 
Wireless ( http://www.northvalleywireless.com  ), is using this 
system for high speed internet and I'm looking into it to replace my 
dial-up connection. I was considering DirecWay satellite, but just 
found out about this. It seems to have the high speed I desire, but 
not the large antenna footprint (DWay antenna requires a tripod mount 
for stability, this one looks like it can be attached to a short pole 
or mast.)

Does anyone use a non-satellite, (non-cable, non-dsl, etc) wireless 
internet system similar to this? Near as I understand it, the concept 
is like cell phones, except that the antenna on your house is 
directional to the closest "access point" which in turn serves an 
area about 2 miles in radius.

I'm sending this to both the iMac & MacNetwork lists, since the 
latter seems to have very little traffic recently.
