I happen to know a potential buyer for this product that only needs it for perhaps 1 mw of transmit power in, say a 1U dedicated computer. It would be for use on airplanes creating microcell access points. See this PPT for a diagram with airplane layouts of a similar project. http://www.waea.org/events/single%5Ffocus/2003/Presentations/Trials%20Update s/Kirkland-Trials-Final.ppt
This is one of the intended uses of this product. The discussion of the level of local interference from radios seems to have overshadowed the some of the other benefits of the boards uses:
- multiple frequencies on a platform
- multiple separate full power antennas for ptp or sectoral link
- possibility to add other mpci devices
Also, does this product have to be for wireless cards or can you use other mPCI devices? For example, can you use storage, serial, ethernet, telemetry, etc?
Yes, any mcpi compliant device -- available are Ethernet, wireless, video, sync v.35 (coming soon from us), and probably some others...
I mention this because sometimes companies that break tradition, also create new markets for their products.
