Simon: My guess - environmental and link performance. Look at the temperature performance of the unit versus most 802.11 products (oops, many 802.11 products *don't* state their temperature performance! ;0). Also, the unit is available with "Ruggedized weatherproof packaging". Also, the "system gain", or the difference between TX power and RX sens. is about 123 dBm, versus maybe 108 dB with 802.11b (meaning you can have 15 dB greater path loss, or longer paths.
Also - could not get your links to work (404 here)...

Why would they use that when WiFi is cheaper and faster? http://www.sdnbd.org/sdnp/tech_support/PATC-Wan1.jpg http://www.sdnbd.org/sdnp/tech_support/ http://www.p-com.com/frames/products_frame.html simon --- www.simonwoodside.com -- general wireless list, a bawug thing <http://www.bawug.org/> [un]subscribe: http://lists.bawug.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless -- general wireless list, a bawug thing <http://www.bawug.org/> [un]subscribe: http://lists.bawug.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless
