This has been discussed in depth on the private WISPA list. The FCC is
giving 3.65Ghz licenses for experimental purposes, which you can use to
provide customers with service. However, it may not be a wise business
decision to rely on experimental spectrum, which can go away at any time.

Hi Matt,
Can you please shed some light on your 3.65 GHz license?
To my knowledge (and we work with the FCC on licensing almost on a daily
basis) -- 3.65 GHz is not yet legally licensable for commercial common
carrier applications

Is there any vendor besides Aperto that has product that will work with
our 3.65Ghz license?

Jeff, LOL. Be careful who you're listening to. Like I said, there is
allot of total BS out there being spread by certain
people/manufacturer's. There are several waves of certifications
coming. Just because we didn't show up for the first wave doesn't mean
we don't have a product. When the others get caught up Alvarion will be
there for the real test phases. Brad

3.5 / 2.5 / 5.8
Alvarion I believe from what I heard was waiting for the QOS revision
to be agreed on.

Jeff, In what Frequency? There is allot of BS out there in the first
wave of testing for those that have yet to get a product to market. We
can discuss

The only product on the market today that will have backwards
compatibility to wimax where a cpe can talk to a wimax base station is
Aperto. Additionally,
Alvarion will not be one of the first round products certified for
wimax,
Airspan and Aperto however, will be.

Is there a firmware upgrade path for WiMAX through the VL product
line
or is it a hardware change? Feel free to have someone contact me offlist
for pricing information. I have a need for a PtMP system with more
capacity than I have now with my current system. I do not know of many
systems that meet the specs you list here and I already know many people
are quite fond of the product.
Maybe this time the price won't drive me away as has been the case in
the past. Please do not take that as a slam. It is not. I know the
quality is there and it is a matter of economics for me only that has
ever kept me away from Alvarion products. You guys build good stuff and
in some markets the price is easily recovered through ROI.
Thanks,
Scriv

John, Typically 4 sector base stations are built with either 5.3 or
a licensed link as backhaul. With BreezeAccess VL, true data sector
performance is 28 meg's in a 20 Mhz channel and half that in 10 Mhz
Next
firmware release is going to mid 30's in a 20 Mhz channel (again
true
data
rates). I know of one sector that has 200 sub's attached although
most sectors have less than 100. This customer looked at most
manufacturer's
gear
and concluded Alvarion had the management feature sets, ease of
batch processing for firmware uploads, obstructed NLOS for their
application,
and
a host of other likes including Alvarion's support infrastructure.
To be honest I don't think we have many Alvarion Operators that
subscribe
here but that doesn't mean there aren't a crap load of them out
there
which
should be obviuos to everyone. Typically our Operators use Alvarion
support
Application Engineers and Alvarion web servers such as Mike Cowan's
at
ACC
when needed.
This could end up being a long dialog about the differences in
operators,
products, and ROI models but I won't go there. Brad
