What equipment lets me have 1 GB of throughput on a single site in only 20 MHz of available frequency? WISPs need to be able to deploy 10 megabit plus pipes to the home. A single user then chews up most of your 3.5 or 7 MHz channel. I know physics comes into play. I know government policy

802.22 sounds good if the channel bonding makes it through to the end and is usable. THAT would be wonderful. If not, 6 MHz isn't going to get us very far in terms of delivering real throughput to any significant number of users. Price always comes into play and if we're looking at $10k APs

Just a thought, unless you have a 600 or better unit, you are running 1x10/100 Ethernet on 100-400 units vs. 2xGigabit on to 600-1000 units, IMO creating a bottleneck even with low to moderate user accounts. This is where most of our cross-over sales are from, in the lower model units. With

The problem, here Tony, is that the MAC's and PHY that accomlishes this kind of performance isn't built into chipsets that are mass produced like consumer chipsets are. Even I'm going to end up with Atheros based 3.6 ghz products, because nothing else currently makes any sense at all, dollar

Personally, I really wonder if it is possible to have 10 bits/HZ that a 60 Mbps channel in 6 MHz would have. 8VSB of HDTV was pretty advanced when it was originally proffered as a standard. It does 19.2 Mbps in a 6 MHz channel. Or approx 3 bits / Hz. That seems to be the upper limit of many
