Re: [WISPA] churn, double play and why WLP is key - I finallyunderstand it
Tom, I just read this now- but I would say that you likely didn't deploy a packetwave with the CBR qos enabled. Aperto works like crap if you don't Set up service flows on a bsr.

I do agree that Aperto was one of the first products in the market place to offer full feature sets in one package, with strengths on its QOS and Bandwidth management, and NLOS ability. A lot of smart innovated things on their radios, much earlier than other vendors. But its down fall was limiting itself to only 6 Mhz channels, and mandatory pre-defined split of bandwidth allocated for each direction, limiting its possible bandwdith to approximately 1/6 what the VL could deliver REAL WORLD. Aperto limited themselves to believe there wouldn't be fast enough backhauls to justify having faster sectors, which was wrong. They also didn't consider noise as a key factor, when doing their math on what speed they could get with 6Mhz. Then throw in their lack of having remote live testing tools, so half the time it was hard to even know what performance was even being acheived, without a truck roll and taking the client down to test. I got better VOIP performance out of our Trango's than I did Aperto, which is why we pulled our Aperto out of DC.

I was told they switched to VL.

Jeff, Aperto implements the 802.16 MAC, which we all know gets brutalized in UL. In fact, it is a principal reason major vendors are not offering UL WiMAX today and it is THE reason the IEEE created the 802.16h task group to come up with a solution that fixes the .16 problem in shared spectrum.
