NEW YORK -- More than three-quarters of residential Web users got on the
Internet using a high-speed broadband connection in November, according
to a study released Tuesday.

Very nice unit. Has a WAP interface for cell phones. Sends alerts like
the UPS network interfaces. Displays AMP usage. May not be the cheapest
out there, but it's very refined and backed by a reputable company.

So there is no misunderstanding. My original comment was based on radios
like early WMUX, that used the whole spectrum range.
I have nothing against high capacity radios 100mbps FDX and Higher. I don't
have anything against selecting higher capacity radios when needed, or
chosing a radio that
Not sure which radios your reffering to as not being FCC certified but you
should dig deeper than the surface.

Again, since we only run PtP gear our signal well exceeds everyone else's.
That's my point. You feel it doesn't matter because your signal is stronger
and you initially survive. The Ostrage syndrom, if I stick my head in a

Is it 64 Mhz in both directions (full 64Mhz TX), or 32 mhz in each direction
(one for TX one for RX)?
If 32Mhz in each direction, I'd argue pretty darn efficient for 100mbps FDX.

The right thing to do is to coordinate the install with the wisp so you can
monitor the exsisting link while installing the new and have plan B ready to go
if there is a conflict. No harm no foul. That can be a challenge if you don't
know the wisp is even there.
