There are operators who applied for say, an experimental license with
500 subscribers
"testing" the RF portion of the service.
It is a risk, but since that spectrum is slated to be unlicensed, I
doubt the risk is too great.

Yes -- experimental licenses have been available for quite some
time now --
we have one =)
But if you read the FCC rules closely -- there are A LOT of
limitations, and
no, running a business off such a license is a BAD IDEA

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.

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
