Hi
Guys,
Matt Peterson just
alerted me to this thread. So let me give the latest status.
Over the past couple
of months the product has matured and now we are in mass production. A lot of
WISPs have been evaluating the samples and the feedback is great.
People like the
100mW radio performance, detachable antenna and the Power over Ethernet
capability. Just yesterday one guy reported that he could do 8 miles with the
normal rubber ducky that we ship.
We have signed
up Electro-Comm and now they are taking orders. http://www.ecommwireless.com
We are working on
certifying a bunch of Antennas. (Matt, i would extract all the other secret
plots out of you when we meet :-)
We are working
on the outdoor version of this product to be released soon.
With best regards,
Nimesh Parikh

I saw a pre-production model in Thailand, it was a little hackish (PS/2
or USB for power, cheap non-flexible RP-SMA antenna). However, it's the
only Gektek shipping solution @ 100mW ;) They're focus is not on the
client market ("why fight Linksys?"); I guess no one wants MiniPCI or
PCI 100mW Prism2.5 cards... ;-)
Terry of NYCwireless and I will be visiting SmartBridges later this
month as part our WillPowerPointPresentToYourGroupForACouchToSleepOn
"vacation". I hope to convince them to certify additional antennas and
some other secret plots.
btw, ElectroComm <http://www.ecommwireless.com/> just started listing
SmartBridges in their April PDF catalog (I'm not sure if they're
shipping).
