If you're serving the residential market, and price is the big concern, it's worth noting that Canopy has a $40 / customer "residential rebate program" that's been going on for almost 2 years now It's also worth noting with Canopy that you need to add ~$10 / unit for power supplies (they are sold

The biggest reason we use Trango is because we sell our wireless service as symmetrical. Even on the residential level, if they purchase 512k they get 512k down and 512k up. So, if I use Canopy, I have to do a 50/50 split, which means even the Advantage product only provides 7Mbps of "usable" b

Travis, WE provide Symetrical Business service with Canopy, why you couldn't ? A Regular AP has 7 Mbps if you split 75/25 that translates to : 5.25 / 1.75 Why can you sell a 512/512 over that type of AP split ? We use Advantage and have 10/4 MBps of capacity. My biggest Symetrical Plan is 3 Mb

Yes, but I don't have to set the Trango it changes with the load automatically so I don't have to limit myself based on what the customers may be doing at that time. So I can load up the AP until the total up and down traffic is 10Mbps (which will probably be 8 down 2 up ratio). You a

How much detail do you want? Those not familiar with Alvarion are generally shocked at the level of what can be done in terms of features. Makes Trango and Canopy look like a kindergartener's product. But to be candid, that level of detail is also Achilles' heel. I'll try to find a way to abbrevia
