Yes the mp.11 uses a 802.11b (11mbits max) like protocol at 2.4ghz this version is NOT OFDM its is FSSH like all 802.11b products. The mp.11a uses a 802.11a like protocol (54 mbits max) at 5.4ghz this is OFDM like all 802.11a products. They are coming out with 802.11g type product that will use ODFM at 2.4ghz and has a max throughput of 54 mbits The mp.11a and the mp.11g (which has not been announced) will give the greatest distances, mp.11g will work a little better in NLOS with the lower frequencies coupled with OFDM > You are right about the NLOS and WORP.

Supposedly the mp.11's "advantage" is their WORP protocol. But you might get buy with High powered 802.11b standard equipment. That being said the mp.11 is a nice product that has some good features not found on standard 802.11b equipment. > > > On Fri, 5 Sep 2003, Peter Ostrowski wrote: > > > Bon, > > 802.16 products are not expect out for at least 12-18 months.
