Ahh ok, neither do I or the people I've spoken with about this. In another post I illustrated the Alvarion VL pin out is simply inverted. Don't see how that could make any difference in cross talk rejection. So, can we expect Alvarion will at some point begin to adhere to industry wiring codes?

No further news on either front. I do what I can to push, but things like the pinout will never be high on the list since A) they claim to have a good reason, and B) in the rankings of where it is on an operator's decision list, it is somewhere between the bottom and the footnotes of the list.
