Slow? I don't think so. It is designed for residential or small businesses buried in the trees. Gross air rate is 3mbps. Net throughput to be expected with a good link is about 1.7 to a given user. Frankly, I'd be pretty tough to get higher speeds. Remember, there is only 26MHz we can play with in unlicensed 900 and there is LOTS of high power stuff floating around in 900 like lo-jack, cellular, and paging, not to mention lower power ISM stuff. Not much room, especially with a few co-located radios. If you want higher speeds, we have the OFDM PMP in 5GHz that will provide up to 24mbps net per user. Both use the same firmware, same management, and leverage the same base station infrastructure. (The 2.4GHz fits in it as well, in fact it uses the exact same chassis and can do so concurrently).
I forgot to mention, the CPE includes all cable and antenna. The AU side will run you about $2,000, but that includes a mini-backhaul, microcell, and local subscriber. Sounds odd, but those that are familiar with our cell extenders know what I'm referring to.
