[WISPA] Alvarion VL-900

2009-09-18 Thread Cameron Kilton
Does anybody know if the firmware files for the 5.xGhz firmware will load on the 900 VL line? I'm having quite the time trying to upgrade to the 5.5.26 firmware on the VL 900 gear. If there is a different file and you have, please send it along offlist. Thanks, -Cameron -

I could not volunteer to review apps, because I am involved as a grant applicant, and it would have compromised my eligibility. It is disappointing that my app did not make submission in round1, but it will be there in round2. I think it is awesome that you offered your time to contribute to the

Well...operators in 2.5 GHz can put out up to 2 kW (E.g., 2000 Watts) EIRP at the tower site, have a noise floor of -100 dBm which allows them to take full advantage of more advanced technology, and in some cases, have access to almost 200 MHz of spectrum Compare that to 900 MHz, where you're l
