Like 3650, you do have to list all the fixed radios including both ends of the link. What slows down some people's applications is that they mess up on that.

Yes, and No. for primary status you must file each location, but hardly anyone does that. It is totally legal just to apply for a geographical license.

Its just basically PMP430 with half channel widths. 10mhz instead of 20mhz. Its OFDM, has the same plastic outer shell as the 430. Far as I know the 430 series is non-MIMO and so is this stuff.

We've done most of the city of Mansfield, Ohio using Firetide Mesh radios. Rock Solid system. You're welcome to contact me about what we're doing with it. As far as pricing - My experience has been, if you offer it too cheap to a municipality (Government people..) they assume it's not good, and won't even consider you. I've seen some of the idiots in my city pay $125 an hour for a Consultant to tell them the same thing that I said for free...
