That is the joy of Atheros chips, The PHY MAC can be modified if you
have the source code for it.
At least this is what I read from my research.

the Trango, WaveIP and Alvarion, that they use 11a chips but they

I doubt that Airaya can modify 11a PHY MAC on a off the shelf PCB….
Anyone with more info? Input ?

Thanks for the list. I've passed it on to Mike at Airaya for comment.
One of MY big selling points on the Airaya gear is that it's NOT
802.11a like the others (Tranzeo, MT, StarOS, etc.) that you're likely
thinking of.
It uses the 802.11a CHIP to keep costs down but they've put their own
firmware on the radio. I'm running these units in a rotten environment
and they work better than my Trango distribution system at the same
tower sites. Fewer ping losses, higher speeds etc.

I’m not stuck in the 1950s. I’m not looking for vacuum tubes and
100lb power supplies to justify my purchases. I could go to a
number of other vendors and get the same 802.11a setup for $700 or
less. The pictures speak volumes and it seems a fair number of the
subscribers on this list got a lot of information on the product
from the pictures alone. Others asked for my list and I sent it. I
don’t need Airaya suing me, so I’ll let their hardware do the
talking. I know for a fact I have cost them a number of future
sales based the responses I’m receiving from other members who
were considering their product for future deployments.
I sent you the same list of 15 or so items so you can make your

my selection of this unit. It will be a really great feature when

nice if there was an asterisk there telling you “AES Support

Times are changing. If you want devices with lots of chips and
blinky lights you'll have to pay extra. Everything it done at the
board level these days. And everyone is using the same basic chip
set these days. Airaya writes their own mac level firmware for them.
I have 4 links. 2 of the original version (prior to what you've
got there) give me a little bit of trouble on a tough link
(fresnel zone). The new radios haven't skipped a beat though.
I love my Airaya radios. They've been a great value.
I'm curious, you've not said why you don't like them. Is there
