Support and upgrades died when terrorbeam closed the Ohio office. We have been on our own since they fired Reg. Rick Harnish wrote: I am in the understanding that we will be able to purchase licenses for Turbocell for some time but that support and upgrades will not be available. I will not make any statements as to how long this will last.We currently put our CPE's together using ARC Wireless 19 dbi panels, WRAP Boards, POE, Power Supply, Hermes II mini-pci cards, 64 Mb Compact Flash, and a license (SV-4100-H) Total cost of these excluding labor is about $320. We are not building new Turbocell networks! We are only adding clients to existing Turbocell networks and continue to build out mini-cells with Star-OS and WRAP boards in a Hotspot format. I don't know that you have much choice for Turbocell CPE other than build your own.

I've heard alot about these WRAP boards. Is this something we would put together ourselves or are there products available. What are the costs like? I guess I'd really be interested in what I should be doing for CPE going on, assuming we can still get the Turbocell licenses (see post from Blair Davis re: Winncomm continuing to be able to sell Turbocell licenses).

My pains are compounded about 4 times as I had about 24 Turbocell POPs when this all started.

My name is Mark Nash and I own & operate a little WISP of about 300 customers in Oregon. For CPE, I started out using Breezecom 2.4GHz FH radios then switched to Karlnet RSU's loaded w/Turbocell. Then the YDI/Terabeam/Proxim series of mergers & acquisitions happened and I've got products from all companies but they are all Turbocell CPE. We have 6 WiPops surrounding our customer base (rural southern Willamette Valley). We're using Trango backhauls...I started out using them simply because of their low cost and advertised bandwidth. I still have two in use from when the company was called Sunstream (I think it was 2002). I remain happy about that decision. We started out with a bridged network then ARP changed my tune and we went to a routed design. OK, so...there it is. For those of you who know what's going on with Turbocell from the new Proxim, you probably know that I'm not happy as they have set out to discontinue the Turbocell client software. So I will soon have to purchase new AP's and shift some customers around because I won't be able to purchase Turbocell-based devices. That's the word from Proxim. So...anyone heard any differently? I've also asked Proxim if we can 'downgrade' our Turbocell products to 802.11b and they are saying 'no'. It's a you-know-what sandwich from which I'd rather not take a bite. Does anyone feel my pain? Any way around these issues aside from replacing CPE?
