I don't think Marlon is asserting the VL is simply another wifi radio (even though it does use a wifi Atheros chip with CSAM), but more so that the VL offers no method for a user to avoid or overcome noise. Simply lowering modulation, slowing down and retransmitting over and over until the packet

Hello Patrick, With all due respect I don't think anyone here doubts the Alvarion VL is not simply a plain vanilla CSMA product. However, unfortunately the end result is the same when deployed in a RF hostile environment. All the items you list below while impressive are of little use in RF

This is a bit misleading and doesn't answer Marlon's question. Entering a 0 value in the VL contention window algorithm setting will indeed turn off the VL contention mechanism, but it will do little for the client behind the VL radio trying to pass data. Glossy advertisement buzz words like

Give the VL dual polarity via software control and you might have something worth taking note about. Throw in dual band ability and now you're on the right track. As it sits now Alvarion is requiring you to visit every site you have a VL radio and rotate it 90* in the event you need to do so.

Hello Tom, Alvarion's strength is it empowers an operator to engineer a more durable link, based on antenna quality and flexibility. Antenna quality I'll give you. Alvarion uses MTi antennas which by most all accounts builds a quality product. Flexibility? Not a chance. No Dual Polarity +

Correct. Any medium used to deliver broadband can be broken. However, frankly due to the fewer points of failure we typically see less downtime on unlicensed wireless links than we do conventional LEC T1 circuits. Like many things it all comes down to the geographic area. Would you expect a
