Quoting Orlando Andico <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
you don't need LMR400 cable etc. (you're coming from the "DIY outdoor 802.11b/g school of thought."
I was on the assumption of "wifi" :)
smart wifi is not wifi at all. it's licensed 5.2GHz (not wimax either, btw) using motorola canopy equipment.
So that means the "wifi" there is entirely a misnomer? I recall that wifi used to mean 802.11a/b/g technology (for which the Wifi alliance test compatibility). Doesn't SMART also use other technologies for their wireless services (such as GPRS/EDGE) which they collectively bill as "Smart WIFI"?
the canopy CPE is a roughly pringles-sized sector antenna. you bolt it onto a pole or tube. it has a single Ethernet port. it also gets power through the ethernet port, via a standard wall brick and lowbrow "power injector." so there's no RF cable anywhere.
Yeah I've seen this stuff about a year ago (read something about it that Motorola basically went for this rather than doing products for the ISM band) ... it seems to be powered by an 802.3af injector.
