Subject: RE: [smartBridges] Any plans to
make the airbridge with router?
We had discussed some of
that in an earlier thread. Some of us
would like things to stay
the way they are, or maybe have another
unit that is capable of
routing as you suggest. That way those of
us that don't need the
router wont be forced to have it sit there
doing nothing in the box.
:-) We need to keep all of our options
open because not
everyone's network is the same. Some people
like routed CPEs, some
like Bridged. Some like DHCP CPEs,
some like static. Some
use authentication and login of some sort
or another, and some just
give the client a public IP and turn them
loose. If Nexus is going
to be a big departure from what SB is
currently doing it will
likely have some better options for some of
us. For others it's going
to change the way we do business, or
we'll have to stick with
what we have.
Hopefully SmartBridges
will keep the current line going, as well
as bring out Nexus, so
that we still have plenty of choices. The
current line of 2.4GHz
equipment is great, and it's made it possible
for us to grow better
than we could have with any other equipment
currently out there.
(that we've tested anyway)
Also, I would rather see
the price stay close to $300 for the CPE,
lower for bulk orders.
If you make the
price to low, then literally
EVERYONE can run out and
buy one, and
then the spectrum is
useless.
Just wondering if smartbridge is working on or
thinking about making a radio with a builtin 4 port router/firewall? Boy
that would be sweet :) Everything but the antenna for say around
$200
Just a thought,
Jerry
